Would you have an Eyebrow Transplant to look like Cara Delevingne?

With her relationship with Michelle Rodriguez aside, one of the interesting things about the new “it girl” of fashion are her striking set of eyebrows. She gave Brooke Shields a run for her money and had a lot of women wanting fuller arches and inspiring them to fill their rather sparse-looking brows through surgery.

Cara and Her Mega Brows

Cara Delevingne has definitely charmed the runway and the press, and it is her beguiling personality paired with her carefree presence that made people turn her way. But one of her domineering facial features is her eyebrows that just seem to arch so boldy unapologetic of their thickness, shade and shape. It is even more enhanced what with the small facial profile that the model has. 

Aside from her modeling gigs and equally interesting personal life, Cara's eyebrows are just as popular, even earning its very own social media account. It has almost 5,000 followers on Twitter and more than 1,700 likes on  Facebook.

Before the hooplah over eyebrow hair transplant, Cara's eyebrows also influenced an increase in the sales of eyebrow pencils and even enhancing serums. Therefore, in and of its own, her brows are a marketing magic.

The Delevigne Effect

Hair transplant clinics in the UK reported of a marked increase in inquiries regarding eyebrow hair transplant. They even coined a term for it by calling this the Delevingne Effect. Requests are coming in from women who have very thin eyebrows, characteristic to what was popular back in the 90's.

A lot of these women admit that it is years of plucking that resulted to these thin arches. They want to spruce up their brows by having them more defined and thickened. The average age of these women who are inspired by the Delevingne effect is 30.

Over plucked Brows

A lot of women are guilty of plucking their eyebrows as if they are dressing a chicken for dinner. But you must know that this can have long-term effects. In a piece from the Hufftington Post, they asked the expertise of a New York tichologist, Elizabeth Cunnane Phillips, who has 22 years of experience about hair and scalp hair.

Cunnane Phillips said that, “Tweezing eyebrows repeatedly can lead to the destruction of hair follicles.”  However, if the woman observes that the hairs on her eyebrows are not only becoming sparse but also finer, in these cases, trichologists make sure that there is no hormonal imbalance present.

That is why, for those who just went on the overdrive in plucking their brows, they now suffer a permanently thin set of brows. Thankfully, there are easy touch ups that can somehow restore the density, even temporarily.

Eyebrow Tattooing and Eyebrow Hair Transplant

There are actually two ways to create the thickness, shape and color of eyebrows that you want and having it look natural. These are eyebrow tattooing and eyebrow hair transplant. These two may have their degree of invasiveness and discomfort, but the results can come out very impressive.

Eyebrow Tattooing is under the umbrella of cosmetic tattooing wherein you get inked for the purpose of improving aesthetic outcome of the face and other parts of the body. It is crucial in this process that the tattoo artist is also aware of the aesthetic value of an eyebrow that would suit the patient well. They would have to consider the distribution, density, and shape in accordance to how it would enhance instead of overpowering. But in this case, if Cara's eyebrows are your bet, then you can go bit bolder.

Eyebrow hair transplant, on the other hand, is relatively more invasive and expensive. But these did not deter women from being interested and willing to shell thousands just so they could mimic Cara's brows. 

In the UK, this procedure increased by 45% since 2010, with 70% of these clients regretful of the damage they did due to over plucking.

Eyebrow hair transplant is basically the same with head hair transplant where the donor hairs are taken out of strip of scalp from the back of the head. This strip will then be divided into individual hair follicles before they are implanted to the site through very minute incisions.

The healing process is going to take time, and just like regular hair transplant, the patient will also experience shock hair loss. This is an occurrence where the transplanted hairs fall off and eventually grow back permanently.

Today, you can even find brow extensions on the market, in which you just glue the hairs directly over the brow line. These may come out looking natural, but in terms of permanence, eyebrow hair transplant far exceeds what it can do.

Cara Delevingne’s eyebrows have definitely encouraged women to go for a bolder look. They are now embracing denser eyebrows.
