Will the new hair potentially grow at a slower rate and require less frequent trimming?

Question

I'm considering a hair transplant for my right eyebrow, which became sparse after an accident. I'm curious to know if, over time, the new hair might grow at a slower rate and require less trimming. I've come across the term "recipient dominance." Is there any truth to this concept, and is there any evidence supporting it? Thank you for your assistance!

Eyebrow transplantation consists of the dermal extraction of hair follicles –which are genetically resistant to thinning- located on the posterior scalp between the ears, and the dermal transplantation of these follicles on the site where you want eyebrow hairs to grow. The transplanted eyebrow hairs do not fall off, and the result is permanent. Eyebrow transplantation is actually a kind of hair transplantation. Hair follicles are used in eyebrow transplantation. Eyebrows are made to grow by transplanting hairs in the place of eyebrow hairs. Similar to hair transplantation, two methods can be used in eyebrow transplantation in order to extract hair follicles. These methods are FUT and FUE. FUT method is not generally preferred in eyebrow transplantation operations. This method requires an incision on the posterior scalp and sutures. The thin but permanent scar it leaves is the most important disadvantage of this method. On the other hand, hair follicles are individually extracted from the posterior scalp by the FUE eyebrow transplantation without making any incisions or sutures. This procedure leaves no permanent scars.

I've seen people who had to trim their eyebrows with scissors after eyebrow transplants because they grew so fast.

If only one of your eyebrows is thin, why not use the microblading method to correct your eyebrow defect?🤔🤔
