Chrissy Teigen has a new set of thick, bushy eyebrows thanks to a surgery that takes hair follicles from the back of your head and installs them over your eyes.
The model showed off her new look on Instagram Stories on Saturday, revealing that she’d just undergone the elective procedure. “I never wear makeup if I can avoid it so I was so excited for this eyebrow transplant surgery,” she wrote over a pre-surgery selfie showing the outline of her new brows still penciled in, tagging Dr. Jason Champagne & Dr. Jason Diamond. She followed that up with another post-surgery clip showing her new brows in motion, enthusing, “They look so cool. He did hairs up here to even them out,” she added pointing to her arches, “Crazy!” In a third video posted later that evening, she wrote, “A little dark from the pencil but it’s so cool to have brows again,” adding a warning to teenagers to “not pluck them all off like I did!!”
In a post on his Instagram page sharing Teigen’s results, Dr. Diamond also explained why this transplant procedure has become so popular amongst his clients. He said that he knows “too many people,” “entire generations” in fact, that have over-plucked their eyebrows out of existence to be on-trend or have simply experienced substantial hair thinning with age. “Eyebrows play a huge part of the facial aesthetic,” he wrote alongside a screenshot of Teigen’s Story. “They frame the eyes and can either be an asset to the eyes, or they can be the annoying part of your morning you have to spend ten minutes filling in.”
