Who Is a Good Candidate?
Candidates include those with over-plucked eyebrows, scarring from injury or surgery, alopecia affecting the eyebrows, naturally sparse brows, or those wanting a fuller, more defined brow shape.
The Procedure
Eyebrow transplants typically use FUE to extract 200-600 individual follicles from the back of the scalp. These are carefully placed at precise angles to match natural eyebrow growth patterns. The procedure takes 2-4 hours.
Cost Breakdown
USA: $3,000-$8,000. Turkey: $1,500-$3,000 (all-inclusive). UK: $2,500-$6,000. The cost depends on the number of grafts needed and the surgeon's experience.
Recovery & Results
Initial healing takes 5-7 days. Transplanted hairs shed at 2-4 weeks, with new growth starting at 3-4 months. Final results are visible at 12-18 months. Because scalp hair is used, transplanted eyebrow hairs may need occasional trimming.
FAQ
How many grafts are needed for eyebrows?
Typically 200-400 grafts per eyebrow for enhancement, or 300-600 per eyebrow for full reconstruction.
Do eyebrow transplants look natural?
When performed by an experienced surgeon, results look very natural. The key is matching the angle, direction, and growth pattern of existing brow hairs.
How long do eyebrow transplants last?
Results are permanent. However, since scalp follicles are used, the transplanted hairs may grow longer than natural brow hair and require periodic trimming.
