万花筒 2013-01-05&0107 眉毛整形成新潮流（在线收听） |
The angle, the arch, the attitude. If your eyes are the window to your soul, then your eyebrows are the frame. People still love Brooke Shields’ gorgeous eyebrows and Kim Kardashian’s brows have almost developed a cult following. If you don’t like yours, it can be downright depressing. “It’s a little embarrassing and it affects my self-esteem.”For ten years, Pamela Penrose watched as bald spots appeared in her eyebrows.
“Brooke Shields has a sophisticated look and that’s what I’m looking for.”Pamela turned to Doctor Sanusi Umar for an eyebrow transplant. The procedure existed before, but doctors used to use head hairs.
“I can spot it from a distance, mile away.”
So doctor Umar pioneered a way to harvest hair from a woman’s arms, legs or nape of the neck instead.“Much more resembles the natural eyebrow.”
It’s painstaking work,done one hair at a time. The transplant takes two and a half hours in all. After three weeks, we go back to see Pamela.
Ok, ladies, let’s hit it! Ok, there she is!
-So tell me what you are seeing happening there.
-A lot larger and thicker, exactly what I wanted.
Shannon Morrison once had thin, sparse eyebrows, too. After her transplant, you can see the outline of her soon-to-be thicker brows. Sarah Tirosh had her transplant five months ago. She was so frustrated with her eyebrows before that she resorted to painful tattooing to get a dramatic brow.
“Now my face looks very even and normal. I am absolutely happy, a hundred percent.”
Here’s Sara before the procedure. Even with the tattoos, you can see how few hair she had. This is Sara today. The awkward initial hairs that were transplanted have shed and new hairs have grown
in naturally.
-When you look in the mirror, do you get a little surprised every time?
-I feel like I’m totally a different person. I feel so much more confident.
-Oh, because of eyebrows.
-Exactly!

-We should also remember it’s not just cosmetic. There are a number of medical issues as we’ve pointed out, this could really be helpful. But this is expensive game.
-How much?
-6, 000 to 8,000 dollars depending on how much hair. So it’s not like where every body’s gonna run out.
-It’s a major investment.
-Yeah, it’s a major investment. |
