What Is an Eyebrow Transplant?

An Eyebrow Transplant is a cosmetic procedure where hair follicles from the scalp are transplanted into the eyebrow area to restore density, fill gaps, or reshape the brow entirely. It’s ideal for individuals who’ve lost eyebrow hair due to over-plucking, genetics, injury, scarring, or medical conditions.

The goal is not only to restore volume, but also to create a natural-looking brow shape that fits your face — strand by strand.

How It Works

• The procedure typically uses the FUE technique to extract individual follicles, often from behind the ears or the lower back of the scalp
• These follicles are implanted one by one into the brow area, with extreme attention to angle, direction, and curl
• The transplanted hair begins to grow like scalp hair and can be trimmed and styled as desired

Who It’s For

• Individuals with sparse or patchy eyebrows
• People affected by scars, burns, or trauma
• Those with congenital thinness or loss from over-plucking
• Patients looking for feminine, masculine, or custom eyebrow shapes
• Some patients undergoing gender-affirming care

Benefits

• Permanent results — unlike microblading or tattooing
• Highly customizable shape and density
• Uses your own hair, ensuring a natural match and no allergic reaction
• Restores confidence for people self-conscious about their eyebrows

Limitations & Risks

• Transplanted hairs grow like scalp hair — they may require regular trimming
• Requires a highly skilled surgeon to mimic natural hair angle and density
• May take several months to see full growth
• Small scabs or redness may appear during healing

Questions to Ask Your Clinic

• How many grafts will I need for my desired look?
• Will my new eyebrow hair require trimming or maintenance?
• Can I see before-and-after examples of your eyebrow transplant work?
