What is the Eyebrow Transplantation?
Eyebrow transplantation is a permanent cosmetic procedure designed for individuals with sparse eyebrows, shape irregularities, or eyebrow loss caused by trauma, over-plucking, or genetic factors. The procedure involves transferring the patient’s own hair follicles to the eyebrow area.
When performed with proper planning and by an experienced team, eyebrow transplantation provides a natural, balanced eyebrow appearance without altering facial expression.
How Is Eyebrow Transplantation Performed?
The donor area is usually the back of the scalp (occipital region). Hair follicles are extracted one by one using a micro-motor technique with high precision.
The harvested grafts are implanted into the eyebrow area according to the natural direction, angle, and required density of eyebrow growth.
The most critical aspect of the procedure is accurately replicating the natural growth direction of the eyebrows. Incorrect angles may result in upright-growing hairs and an unnatural appearance.
- Procedure duration: Approximately 2–3 hours
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia
- Hospital stay: Not required
Post-Procedure Process
The recovery process after eyebrow transplantation is similar to hair transplantation.
Shock Shedding
- Transplanted eyebrows shed within 2–3 weeks
- This is known as shock shedding and is completely normal
Permanent Eyebrow Growth
- Permanent eyebrow growth starts around the 3rd month
- Shape and density become noticeable between months 8–9
Eyebrow transplantation is a permanent solution. Since the transplanted hairs are the patient’s own follicles, they look natural and do not shed long-term.
Who Is a Suitable Candidate?
- Individuals with sparse or asymmetrical eyebrows
- Those who lost eyebrows due to over-plucking
- People with genetically thin eyebrows
- Individuals with scars or trauma in the eyebrow area
