Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Jeffrey S. Epstein – Female Eyebrow Transplant Post-Op
DR. EPSTEIN: Hi! I’m Dr. Epstein. We just finished an eyebrow transplant, just over 450 grafts on our 30-year-old patient that had plucked her eyebrows. We just finished, not more 15 or 20 minutes ago.
You can see we restored all the density. She had a tattoo of permanent makeup done several ago but you can see the after, how nice it looks.
Are you happy?
PATIENT: I’m very happy! It turned out perfect!
DR. EPSTEIN: The grafts were placed individually, 0.5 mm recipient sites. She is probably not going to look any worse than she does right now. She is basically presentable.
About 225 graphs were placed into each eyebrow and she will be presentable really tomorrow or the day after just looking like her eyebrows are a little bit pink.
For the most part she is great!
