Robin McGraw wants to put an end to the rumours about her plastic surgery. Many of the best-selling author’s admirers have speculated if she’s had cosmetic surgery in the past. And Dr. Phil McGraw’s wife has finally revealed the secret to her young appearance.
During this week’s “I’ve Got a Secret! with Robin McGraw,” she reveals a new secret.
” the 66-year-old admitted that she did have a cosmetic procedure a few years back, just not a face-lift. As it turns out, McGraw got an eyebrow transplant, and it totally changed her look.
“It brought my entire face into proportion,” she said.
Before discovering that eyebrow transplants were an option, McGraw had long resented her sparse brows. As she stated in the show, “I tweezed them and they never grew back,” she said of her brows.
A few years ago, the author turned to hair-restoration specialist Dr. Marc Dauer to perform the minimally invasive procedure, which she says totally “changed my look.” McGraw invited Dauer to discuss the minor surgery on her show this week.
“Eyebrows are such a defining feature of the face … They’re so crucial to framing your face,” Dauer explained. “If they start too far over or if they’re just missing in different places, it just changes your whole look.”
A little section of Dauer’s scalp was cut during the treatment and the hair follicles were retrieved and grafted onto her eyebrows. A less invasive process termed Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) has been introduced by Dauer, which provides the same outcomes as the more invasive treatment.
For either procedure, hair can only be taken from the patient or an identical twin, and with very good reason.
“Hair is an organ just like any other organ. So if you were going to transplant an organ from one person to another you’d have to be on all these immunosuppression medications to allow the body to not reject it,” Dauer said.
Dauer said eyebrow transplants are rising in popularity, and he dedicates just about half of his practice to the face-shaping procedure. “People come to (my patients) and say, ‘You look younger’ or, ‘Did you lose weight?’” he said. “They can’t pinpoint it.”
Thanking Dauer for helping her feel more confident, McGraw revealed that she had tried to hide the shape of her brows over the years.
“I hated my eyebrows so much that I wore bangs to cover them,” she said. “Because of you and my eyebrow transplant, I let my bangs grow out and I was so happy.”
