What is an Eyebrow Transplant?

An eyebrow transplant uses the FUE technique to restore or reshape eyebrows that are thin, sparse, or completely absent. Individual hair follicles β€” usually taken from behind the ear or the scalp β€” are carefully implanted into the brow area at the precise angle that mimics natural eyebrow growth.

The result is permanent, natural-looking eyebrows that grow and can be trimmed and shaped as desired.

✨ Who it's for: People with naturally thin brows, over-plucked brows, brow loss from medical treatments, burns, scarring, or conditions like alopecia.

Why Eyebrow Transplant?

  • Over-plucking has caused permanent follicle damage
  • Naturally very thin or sparse eyebrows
  • Hair loss from chemotherapy or radiation
  • Eyebrow loss from burns, scarring, or trauma
  • Alopecia areata affecting the brow area
  • Desire for fuller, more defined brows permanently

The Procedure

1

Brow Design

Your surgeon draws the ideal brow shape based on your facial structure and your preferences. This design is agreed upon before any procedure starts.

2

Donor Area Preparation

Fine single hairs are taken from behind the ear or the scalp nape β€” areas that produce hair most similar in texture to eyebrows.

3

Precise Implantation

Each follicle is implanted at a very shallow angle (5–15Β°) to replicate the flat, directional growth of natural eyebrow hair. This requires exceptional precision from the surgeon.

4

Recovery

Mild redness for 3–5 days. Transplanted brow hairs may shed temporarily before regrowing permanently from month 3 onwards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will transplanted eyebrow hair keep growing?
Yes β€” because the follicles come from scalp hair which grows continuously, transplanted eyebrow hairs grow faster than natural brow hair and will need regular trimming (every 3–4 weeks). This is the only difference from natural brows.
How many grafts does an eyebrow transplant need?
Each full eyebrow typically requires 150–350 grafts. Both eyebrows together usually need 300–700 grafts total, depending on the density and shape desired.
Is the procedure painful?
Local anaesthesia is applied before the procedure so you feel no pain. The brow area is very sensitive initially, but most patients find the procedure comfortable.
Will the results look natural?
In the hands of an experienced surgeon like ours at Galata, yes β€” completely natural. The angle, direction, and density of implantation are what determine the result, and our surgeons take great care with each placement.
