Recently a man regained his confidence to step into the world with no hat or plasters which he used to cover the scar on is left eyebrow.
Karl Fitzgerald of Sandyford, Dublin was the victim of a violent attack by a stranger in 2010. He was attacked during the Galway races when his eye brows were pulled out inflicting severe pain and leaving an ugly scar in the eye brow area rendering it incapable of growing new hair.
As for the victim it was the psychological pain he had to endure by staying away from social gatherings and avoiding people’s inquisitive stare at his eyebrow which was more severe than the physical pain.
Like men with balding pates, he also hid under hats and plasters but kept looking for alternatives like hair transplant. But had to put it off owing to the prohibitive costs.
His search led him to Dr. Maurice P. Collins of Hair Restoration Blackrock (HRBR) a clinic which specializes in hair transplants. Fitzgerald went for a hair implants which cost him very less.
For the procedure, hair was removed from the neck region to match the texture of eye brow hair and implanted on the eye brow area restoring the original shape and thickness before the attack. The procedure was done over 18 months during which 450 hair were meticulously transplanted using the FUE method.
This procedure helped Fitzgerald return to his normal routine regaining confidence and self-esteem.

During consultation surgeons talk to the patient covering aspects like reassurance; proper assessment; counseling and monitoring.
This may be followed by medical treatment involving FDA approved medications namely Finasteride and Minoxidil. This method is used where it is found that medication will prevent intense hair loss and the patient will be able to regain hair growth effectively.
In cases were necessary, hair transplant surgery is recommended after checking if the patient is a suitable candidate. Ultra Refined Follicular Unit Transplantation (URFUT) is done here where hair from the back of the head is transplanted to bald areas.
