Eyebrow Transplant for El Segundo Patients
For El Segundo residents living with thinning, sparse, or absent eyebrows, a surgical eyebrow transplant offers a lasting path to restored definition and confidence. At ZMDHair, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Hootan Zandifar brings UCLA-trained precision and deep expertise in facial anatomy to every eyebrow restoration procedure.
Patients from El Segundo travel to ZMDHair’s Beverly Hills or Santa Monica offices to work directly with Dr. Zandifar, whose dual certification by the American Board of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery and the American Board of Facial Plastic Surgery uniquely positions him to approach eyebrow restoration as both a surgical and aesthetic discipline.
What an Eyebrow Transplant Involves
An eyebrow transplant is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure in which hair follicles are carefully harvested from a donor area—typically the back of the scalp—and transplanted into the eyebrow region to rebuild density, shape, and natural direction of growth. Dr. Zandifar designs each eyebrow pattern to complement the patient’s facial structure before a single follicle is placed.
Because transplanted follicles continue to grow as natural hair, the procedure requires artistic judgment alongside surgical skill. Angulation, depth, and spacing of each graft are all considered to produce results that look like they belong on your face.
Why El Segundo Patients Choose ZMDHair
El Segundo sits just minutes from the ZMDHair Santa Monica office, making the short drive a practical choice for a procedure with meaningful, long-term impact. Beyond convenience, patients choose this practice because Dr. Zandifar’s credentials are specific to facial surgery—not general hair restoration alone.

Are You a Candidate? Starting with a Consultation
Ideal candidates for eyebrow transplantation include individuals who have experienced eyebrow loss or thinning due to over-plucking, alopecia, scarring, medical treatments, or genetics. Stable donor hair supply and realistic expectations are important factors Dr. Zandifar evaluates during your consultation.
During your visit at the Beverly Hills or Santa Monica office, Dr. Zandifar reviews your medical history, examines the existing eyebrow tissue, and discusses the shape and density goals that make sense for your face. This conversation shapes a surgical plan tailored entirely to you—no standard templates.
Recovery Timeline and What to Expect
Following the procedure, mild redness and small scabs around the transplanted follicles are normal and typically resolve within one to two weeks. Transplanted hairs often shed in the first few weeks—this is a normal part of the follicle cycle before new growth begins to emerge over the following months.
Because transplanted eyebrow hairs retain scalp-hair growth characteristics, periodic trimming is usually needed as they grow. Most patients begin to appreciate meaningful density changes as healing progresses, though the full picture of results continues to develop over time. Dr. Zandifar and his team provide detailed aftercare guidance to support every stage of recovery.
