About Eyebrow Transplantation

Eyebrow transplantation is a cosmetic surgical procedure to customize the appearance of the eyebrow.  Eyebrow transplantation can restore eyebrows that are thin, missing or scarred. The absence of hair can be due to over plucking, hormonal abnormalities, burn, inherited or because of various other reasons. The procedure involves from around 50 to 350 hairs being transplanted into each eyebrow. The transplantation is usually performed on females but can also be done on males.

Eyebrow Transplantation Procedure

The procedure is done using local anesthetic so the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort. The procedure is done using an automated FUE system. The transplantation will start with follicles being removed from the donor site, which is the back of the head, similar to the other hair transplantations. Then the hair follicles are placed carefully into the eyebrow area in the correct angle and direction.  The transplantation takes around 3 to 4 hours to perform.
