A Doctor Who Was Tired Of Using Makeup To Fill In Her Sparse Eyebrows Has Revealed How She Underwent A Hair Transplant With Locks From The Back Of Her Head.
Simone Maybin Of Myrtle Beach, Carolina Spent 20 Minutes A Day Drawing Her Eyebrows Before Undergoing The Seven-Hour Procedure With Dr. Jason Champagne, Who Also Performed Chrissy Teigen’s Eyebrow Transplant.
Under Local Anesthesia, Dr. Champagne, From Beverly Hills, Hair Removed From The Base Of Simone’s Head And Removed 2 Inches From The Roots, With The Follicle Still Attached.
The Process, Known As Follicular Unit Transfer, Then Involves Grafting Follicles Onto The Eyebrow Line For Permanent Implantation.

Simone, A Doctor, Said, ‘Any Other Makeup I Could Do Without? [Except My Eyebrows]. I’ve Done A Lot Of Different Beauty Things, Modeling And Fitness Competitions, And The Standard Of Beauty Is That They Have To Be Full.
“All My Life They’ve Been Dressed To Look Pretty And To Be Full And Luscious And That’s All I Knew About Them.”
Every Day Simone Spent 20 Minutes Perfecting Her Eyebrow Shape With Eyebrow Clay In The Mirror Before Going To Work.
She Was Never Tempted By Workarounds Like Microblading Or Laminating, As She Was Satisfied With Her Own Makeup.
But When An Ad For An Eyebrow Transplant Popped Up On Her Instagram About A Year Ago, It Was A Lightbulb Moment.
Pictured After The Procedure, Said The Procedure Boosted Her Confidence
The Doctor Said, ‘As Soon As I Saw It, I Thought, ‘I Get It’. There Was No Question In My Head. I’m A Very Analytical Person And Very Careful, But Once I Saw It, That’s The Procedure For Me.’
She Booked An Appointment With The Stars’ Surgeon Dr. Jason Champagne Before Undergoing The Procedure On November 13, 2021.
Simone Chose Dr. Champagne For Her Very First Cosmetic Procedure, As She Was Wary That Not All Surgeons Would Have Experience With Curly Hair Like Hers.
She Said, “If You Think About It, Eyebrows Aren’t Curled And My Hair Is Naturally Curly. I Chose To Pick Someone I Thought Was The Best In The World Because It’s My Face.
‘But What Am I Supposed To Be, 50 And Draw My Eyebrows? So I Said Let’s Do It.’
Simone Said She Felt More Confident Within A Few Weeks Of The Procedure.
She Added: “They Looked Ten Times Better Than I Could Have Ever Imagined, It Was Just The Right Decision.”
However, Despite Her Satisfaction, She Faced Harassment From TikTok Users After Documenting The Trip Online.
Simone Said, “Someone Said I Look Like Michael Jackson. Someone Said I Looked Worse, I Used To Look Better, But When You Share It, You Open Yourself Up To It.
“It Didn’t Bother Me, It Was Quite Funny, And With How Many Negative Comments I Have Doubly Positive Too.”
Some Commentators Who Had Their Own Insecurities Around Their Eyebrows Booked An Appointment After Seeing Simone’s Journey, Including A Woman Who Lost Hers While Undergoing Cancer Treatment.
Teigen, 36, Announced On Instagram Last November That She Was Undergoing An “Eyebrow Transplant.”
She Said, “I Never Wear Makeup When I Can Avoid It, So I Was So Excited For This Eyebrow Transplant Where They Take Hair Off The Back Of Your Head.”
The Mother Of Two Chose To Have The Procedure After Furiously Plucking Her Eyebrows As A Teenager For Years.
