Abstract

Chemotherapy and alopecia frequently result in eyebrow loss, a visible change that may affect not only appearance but also psychological well-being and social confidence. For many patients, the absence of eyebrows becomes a constant reminder of illness and may contribute to decreased self-esteem and discomfort in social interactions. Dermatological adverse effects of anticancer therapy are common and have been shown to influence quality of life, highlighting the importance of supportive measures aimed at both medical and psychosocial rehabilitation. Permanent eyebrow correction through micropigmentation is a minimally invasive aesthetic procedure that can restore the visual appearance of eyebrows for a prolonged period. This paper reviews existing literature on dermatological toxicities of cancer therapy, psychosocial adaptation to visible skin changes, and the role of aesthetic interventions in improving quality of life. Although permanent eyebrow correction may represent a potential component of rehabilitation for patients with alopecia or post-chemotherapy hair loss, evidence specifically evaluating its psychoemotional impact remains limited, indicating the need for further research.
