Summary Background Eyebrows serve a key role in eye protection, communication, and self‐expression. Trends in eyebrow grooming are constantly evolving, often requiring plucking, waxing, or laser hair removal to style. When combined with the natural thinning of the brow with aging, the result can be a sparse or even absent eyebrow hair over time. Follicular unit transplantation provides a means of restoring eyebrow fullness and architecture. With careful attention and augmentation of follicle transfer techniques, a natural end result is possible.
