LLORENS, D.; PLANAS, J.; RENGEL, J.  and  ORTIZ, J.. Total and partial eyebrows reconstruction with folicular unit transplat: 10 years of experience. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2013, vol.39, n.1, pp.15-22. ISSN 1989-2055.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0376-78922013000100003.

Eyebrows are integral elements in the character of the face and the expression of the spectrum of emotions. Its hair pattern is complex: it takes several directions and is placed in a different position and differently in men and women. This complexity of features makes reconstruction a challenge. In this way, we have established three basic areas to achieve this end: composite grafts, flaps and follicular units transplant. We report the experience of 10 years in the reconstruction of eyebrows throughout the follicular units transplantation technique at Clínica Planas in Barcelona ( Spain) with 58 consecutive patients treated in this period and 94 eyebrows. A retrospective, observational, transverse and descriptive study was raised. We analyzed the frequency distribution and measures of central tendency of the variables. The results obtained have allowed us to conclude that the technique of follicular unit transplantation is the best alternative for total and partial eyebrows reconstruction in selected cases, with a small morbidity. Results were clearly higher, with minimal interference in the patient's life.
