A woman has spent over $5,000 on getting an eyebrow transplant in order to restore her ‘confidence’ after years of overplucking.
Siham Cyrine, from Los Angeles, California, has followed in the footsteps of Chrissy Teigen after getting hair from the back of her head transplanted onto her face.
The 29-year-old has now said that her new brows have already made her feel ‘younger’ and more ‘confident.’
The content creator decided to have the four-hour operation after feeling self-conscious of her thin eyebrows which she had overplucked as a teenager.

Siham said she had naturally thick eyebrows growing up but after being bullied for them she ended up plucking a lot.
‘People said, “You have a unibrow” and laughed,’ she explained. ‘I plucked a lot. I started to lose my eyebrows in my 20s.’
She found her eyebrows never grew back and started thinning out even more in her 20s.
The young woman tried microblading but found the ink bled out and didn’t give the desired shape she wanted.
She was forced to spend 45 minutes every day just doing the make-up on her brows before researching other possibilities.
Siham decided that, after seeing the likes of Chrissy Teigen getting an eyebrow transplant, she wanted to get one herself.
‘I started researching other options. So many people overplucked. I thought there had to be a solution.
‘I started seeing more about eyebrow transplants. Chrissy Teigen did it.’
Siha, who underwent treatment in November 2023, had consultations to draw up the perfect eyebrow shape before a small portion of hair was taken from the back of her head
The hair follicles were then placed carefully on her face as part of a four-hour procedure
She went for several consultations before settling on Dr. Ducu clinic in Westminster, London.

Siham said her brows looked ‘really odd’ at first and scabbed over before her hair fell off, adding: ‘You’re back to where you started.’
But the transplanted follicles meant that her eyebrows then started to regrow in December 2023.

Siham (pictured after the procedure) dished that her eyebrows will take nine months to fully develop but she’s already happy with the results
In 2021, Chrissy Teigen took to her social media channels to document the ongoing procedure as she too had an eyebrow transplant
And now, four months later, they are nearly fully grown.
‘I used to spend 45 minutes on my eyebrows alone. When I didn’t have makeup on my eyebrows were an insecurity. Now I only take ten minutes.
‘I feel more myself. They make me feel a bit younger.’
Siham dished that her eyebrows will take nine months to fully develop but she’s already happy with the results.
‘Eyebrows are such a big part of your face and identity. Eyebrows are so important to me.
‘Now I love them so much. I feel so much more confident.’
