Eyebrow Transplantation

While cosmetic procedures can achieve similar appearances, no cosmetic method is entirely permanent. Eyebrow transplantation makes it possible to achieve both the determination of the correct eyebrow structure and the permanent attainment of the desired look.

What is Eyebrow Transplantation?

Firstly, just as in hair transplantation, hair follicles are extracted from the donor area (usually the back of the head) and are soaked in special solutions to prevent any hair loss. The area where the transplantation will be performed is numbed with local anesthesia. Then, the extracted follicles are carefully placed one by one, taking into consideration the natural direction of eyebrow growth. Since eyebrows are one of the prominent features of the face, the transplantation procedure should be carried out with great precision, considering the shape of the face, its anatomy, and the patient’s preferences.

What should be considered after the treatment?

It is possible to observe very small, pin-sized scabs in the transplantation area for about two weeks after the procedure. However, these scabs fall off rapidly, so they do not hinder the patient from returning to their daily life and work. Individuals who have undergone eyebrow transplantation are advised to avoid swimming in the sea or pool, excessive exposure to direct sunlight, using tanning beds, and intense physical exercise for two weeks.

When do eyebrows start to grow after eyebrow transplantation?

Eyebrows start to grow approximately 3 months after the transplantation. They will reach their final shape after a process of about 7-8 months. It’s important to note that, similar to hair, eyebrows will start shedding about 15 days after the transplantation. The shedding process continues for about 3 months. After the third month, there is no further shedding.

Since the hair follicles are taken from the back of the head during eyebrow transplantation, eyebrows grow quickly, much like regular hair. Therefore, it is beneficial to trim the tips with intervals of 15 days to maintain their appearance. After one year, eyebrows will adapt to the characteristics of the transplanted area, and their growth rate will slow down. The need for trimming will decrease, and after one year, eyebrows will begin to take on the characteristics of the transplanted area, and their growth rate will slow down gradually, reducing the need for further trimming.
