Eyebrow transplant surgeries have become increasingly popular in recent years. Periauricular hair, with its slow growth rate and fine caliber similar to eyebrow hair, has been strategically used in eyebrow transplants to achieve enhanced and authentically natural aesthetic results.
This study aimed to assess the postoperative clinical outcomes of using periauricular hair for eyebrow transplantation.
Data from 81 patients (72 women and 9 men) who underwent eyebrow transplantation with periauricular hair between October 2020 and September 2022 were analyzed. They were followed up for 15 months' post-surgery to evaluate recovery and complications. Patient satisfaction and quality of postoperative life were assessed using a 5-point Likert scale.
For female patients, the average total number of transplanted hair grafts and surgery duration were 402.33 ± 158.48 FU (follicular unit) and 193.86 ± 66.69 min, respectively. Contrastingly, male patients exhibited slightly higher values, with an average of 481.78 ± 126.43 FU and 229.00 ± 96.80 min, respectively. No significant complications were reported during the postoperative follow-up. Patients expressed general satisfaction with immediate and 15-month postoperative outcomes, reflected in a mean overall satisfaction score of 4.90. The overall satisfaction of the subjects at 15 months postoperative was significantly higher than the preoperative satisfaction (Z = -8.483, p < 0.001). The eyebrow/forehead surgery did not have a significant impact on postoperative satisfaction (H = 5.355, p = 0.374 > 0.05); however, patients without tattoos tended to report higher levels of postoperative satisfaction (Z = 8.056, p = 0.004 < 0.05). Patient satisfaction ratings for physical function, psychological function, social function, and quality of life post-operation were 5, 4.95, and 4.94, respectively.
Eyebrow transplant using periauricular hair can improve cosmetic outcomes and is a viable option in clinical practice.
近年来，眉毛移植手术越来越受欢迎。耳周毛发的生长速度较慢，且与眉毛的毛发一样纤细，因此被策略性地应用于眉毛移植中，以达到增强和自然逼真的美学效果。
本研究旨在评估使用耳周毛发进行眉毛移植的术后临床效果。
分析了 2020 年 10 月至 2022 年 9 月期间接受耳周毛发眉毛移植的 81 名患者（72 名女性和 9 名男性）的数据。术后随访 15 个月，以评估恢复情况和并发症。使用 5 分制 Likert 量表评估患者满意度和术后生活质量。
对于女性患者，平均移植的毛囊总数和手术时间分别为 402.33±158.48 FU（毛囊单位）和 193.86±66.69 min。相比之下，男性患者的数值略高，分别为 481.78±126.43 FU 和 229.00±96.80 min。术后随访期间未报告任何严重并发症。患者对即刻和 15 个月术后效果普遍满意，总体满意度评分为 4.90。术后 15 个月时，患者的总体满意度明显高于术前满意度（Z=-8.483，p<0.001）。眉毛/额头手术对术后满意度没有显著影响（H=5.355，p=0.374>0.05）；然而，没有纹眉的患者更倾向于报告更高水平的术后满意度（Z=8.056，p=0.004<0.05）。患者对术后生理功能、心理功能、社会功能和生活质量的满意度评分为 5、4.95 和 4.94。
耳周毛发移植可以改善美容效果，是临床实践中的一种可行选择。
