Cara Delevingne's eyebrows inspire rise in transplant procedure enquires according to plastic surgery clinic reports

The fashion world's current "It Girl" Cara Delevingne got to where she is today for a number of reasons, but many will agree that her eyebrows are what got her noticed in the first place. Bold and proud, her eyebrows have reportedly inspired a rise in enquiries regarding a unique plastic surgery procedure according to a study on clinics. Women are apparently interested in thicker eyebrows and willing to spend thousands of dollars for the transplant!

According to a new report in the United Kingdom, women have been trying to get hair transplants to make their eyebrows thicker, with the majority of them admitting to over-plucking over the years. This report also found that the average age of these women inspired by this "Delevingne Effect" is 30.

"The rise in enquires for this treatment comes mainly from women who have previously over-plucked, which can permanently damage the follicle leaving them with thinning or virtually no eyebrows," hair transplant surgeon at Transform, Dr Mabroor Bhatty, said. "As fashions have changed, women are looking to reverse these effects with the treatment."

The Doctor added: "Eyebrow transplant procedures are performed in the same way as a hair transplant, by taking a strip of hair from the donor site; usually at the back of the head at the lower hair margin, where the hair is finer. This strip is divided into single hair follicles before each follicle is individually transplanted to incisions made in the eyebrows. As is the case with a standard hair transplant, it is normal to see hairs falling out for the first six weeks. However, new hair will grow on average between two to three months after the procedure, creating the desired thickening effect."
