An eyebrow transplant is technically harder than a scalp procedure. The area is small, and the angle and direction of every single hair affect the symmetry of the face. What decides the result is not the number of grafts but how each hair is placed.

Who it suits

Thinned or lost eyebrows, permanent loss from over-plucking, loss after burns or scarring, and congenital sparseness. Where loss is caused by an active condition such as alopecia areata, the condition must be brought under control first; transplantation is not performed during an active phase.

How it is done

Hairs are usually taken individually from the nape and placed as single-hair grafts. A typical brow uses between 150 and 350 grafts. The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic and takes two to four hours.

What decides the result: angle and direction

Eyebrow hairs lie far flatter against the skin than scalp hair, and they change direction — upward at the inner brow, outward toward the tail. If that change is not reproduced accurately the result looks like a brush. This is the difficult part of the procedure and where experience shows.

Afterwards

The transplanted hairs shed within two to four weeks and begin regrowing at three to four months. Because they are scalp hairs, they grow faster than eyebrow hair and need regular trimming. This is permanent and should be understood before the procedure.

At Prime Hair Transplant Clinic

Brow design and placement are carried out by Dr. M. Resat Arpaci. Because the outcome depends entirely on angle and symmetry, planning and placement are handled by the same surgeon.

Frequently asked questions

Which clinic is good for an eyebrow transplant in Turkey?

In eyebrow work the result is decided by hair angle and direction, not graft count. Ask to see unfiltered close-up photographs of the clinic’s previous brows, and ask who designs the brow and who places the hairs.

How many grafts does an eyebrow transplant need?

A typical brow uses 150 to 350 single-hair grafts. The exact number is set at examination according to existing density and the shape being aimed for.

Are transplanted eyebrows permanent?

Yes, the transplanted hairs are permanent. Because they are scalp hairs they grow faster than eyebrow hair and need regular trimming.

How long does recovery take after an eyebrow transplant?

The transplanted hairs shed within two to four weeks and regrow from three to four months. The final appearance settles at around eight to twelve months.
