I have had a catact removed from the right eye about two years ago, and just recently I had surgery for diverticularitis, in October 2009. In June 2009 my family doctor referred me to a specialist for Thyroid problems. I also lost some hair on my head due to a combination of the anathesisa and anti-biotics I was given I would think that could be part of the problem in 10/2009, and I was not on any medicine for the Thryoid problem until April 2010. I am off of that medication now and I was just wonder if my eye brows will grow back or not. I was told that they could be a cosmetic implant that is sort of a tattoo that could be done, but I am not sure that I want to go that route or not. Just checking to see what you had on this issue and your thoughts about it. Thanks,

Hi Anonymous,
August 9, 2010 - 9:11amThank you for your question and for finding EmpowHER. Sorry for your recent health problems. I hope you are on the path to wellness now. Did your doctor recommend stopping the thyroid medicine? Are you still being treated for a thyroid condition?
If it was the medicine causing hair loss, your doctor may be able to prescribe a different medicine to deal with the thyroid condition.
According to this May 31, 2010 article by a fellow HerWriter, eyebrow thinning caused by a thyroid condition could grow back following treatment:

Minoxidil (Rogaine) may help, or there also is eyebrow hair transplantation:
