Harley Street Hair Transplant Clinics female patient eyebrow transplant before and after

Eyebrow Transplant & Restoration

Eyebrow thinning and loss affects far more people than is often acknowledged, whether from over-plucking in earlier years, alopecia, hypothyroidism, scarring, or simply a genetic predisposition to sparse brows. For many patients, the impact on confidence is significant and the available alternatives like microblading, tattooing and daily makeup are temporary at best.

If you are looking to restore your eyebrows and your confidence via an ISHRS surgeon-performed procedure, our Harley Street expert surgeons are the solution for you. We see patients that have suffered with eyebrow hair loss due to over-plucking, genetics, scarring and illness as well as patients that want the fuller eyebrow look such as Chrissy Teigen, Megan Fox and Meagan Good.

The benefits of an eyebrow transplant for patients are:

Fuller and thicker eyebrows to frame your face
Positive psychological impact to restore confidence
Restoring a more youthful appearance
A permanent solution with natural results

To start your eyebrow restoration journey, you can enquire about an initial consultation with one of our patient advisors.

What is an Eyebrow Transplant?

An eyebrow transplant is a surgical procedure that transplants hair from the donor area of your head (the back and sides) to your eyebrows to restore the density and shape back to their natural self. The procedure is performed by our GMC & ISHRS registered surgeons in the London clinic using the FUE hair transplant method.

It works using a small tool called a punch machine where the surgeon extracts individual hair grafts from your donor area that then get separated and counted into single, double and triple follicular units. These are then all converted into singles with some doubles as eyebrow hairs typically grow in single hair follicles with very few doubles. Then our surgeons use surgical blades to make incisions into the eyebrow area mimicking their natural angle of growth of which after this process, the implantation of the previously extracted hairs begins into the pre-made incisions.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you know who is performing your surgery as it is crucial that a qualified doctor is performing the vital parts of this surgery.

How Does an Eyebrow Transplant Work?

Eyebrow transplants at our clinic are performed exclusively using Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). This involves the precise removal of individual hair follicles from the scalp donor area one at a time, using a small punch tool. Each follicle is then implanted individually into the brow at the correct angle and direction to match natural growth patterns.

The alternative technique, Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT), involves removing a strip of scalp tissue from the donor area. While FUT remains appropriate for certain scalp hair transplant cases, it is not used for eyebrow restoration at our clinic. The eyebrow area requires exceptionally fine, single-hair placement with minimal trauma to the surrounding skin, and the minimally invasive nature of FUE makes it significantly better suited to this. There is no linear scar at the donor site and recovery is faster. You can read more on our FUE hair transplant page.

On the day of your eyebrow transplant procedure, be sure to take the day off work. The full surgery will typically take between 4 and 6 hours. As you will be given local anaesthetic during the procedure, you’ll be able to drive and there is no need to stay overnight.

The day is structured as follows:

Consultation, design and consent
Donor area shaving as layering
Local anaesthetic administration to the donor area (back of the head)
Extraction phase of hair grafts from the donor area
Local anaesthetic administration to the recipient area
Incision phase to the recipient area
Break for lunch
Implantation phase of previously extracted and separated hair follicles into the recipient area (eyebrows)
Post surgery aftercare pack and explanation followed by patient discharge.

To make your eyebrows look full and natural, between 400 and 1,000 grafts may be required. These grafts will be extracted and re-implanted individually.

Who is Suitable for an Eyebrow Transplant

Eyebrow transplants are suitable for both men and women. The procedure is most commonly requested by women, though a significant number of our patients are men, particularly those who have experienced loss from scarring, alopecia, or thyroid conditions.

Good candidates share a few key characteristics. First, the underlying cause of the hair loss must be stable. If you are still actively losing hair due to an untreated medical condition, surgery should be delayed until that condition is managed. Second, you must have a suitable donor area, typically the back and sides of the scalp, with healthy follicles that can be extracted without compromising the donor zone. Third, your expectations must be realistic: an eyebrow transplant restores natural density and shape, but the final result depends on your existing brow structure and the number of grafts available.

Women most commonly present with thinning caused by years of over-plucking, age-related loss, alopecia, or hypothyroidism. The goal is typically to restore a fuller, shaped brow. The arch, density, and hairline of the brow are all designed individually in consultation with your surgeon before the procedure begins.

Men tend to present with loss across the full brow rather than just the outer third, and more frequently from conditions such as alopecia areata, scarring from injury, or previous surgery in the orbital area. The design approach for male patients differs: the ideal male brow is flatter in arch, heavier in density, and wider than the female equivalent. Our surgeons plan each male case individually to ensure the result is masculine and natural.

Patients who are not suitable include those with active, untreated autoimmune conditions affecting the brow, those with insufficient donor hair, or those whose hair loss is still progressing. A consultation with one of our surgeons will confirm your candidacy before any procedure is planned.

How Much Does an Eyebrow Transplant Cost?

The cost of eyebrow transplant surgery varies between £3,000-£5,000. This, primarily, is dependent upon the severity of the hair loss. With any hair transplant, the main bulk of the cost comes with the number of grafts needed to be extracted and re-implanted. With FUE, you can expect to pay between £2 and £4 for every graft that is used.

Whilst this may be a little pricey on first glance, it’s important to note that eyebrow transplantation can put a stop of further loss of eyebrow hair. FUE takes healthy hair follicles from elsewhere in order to promote hair growth in the brow area. As such, this means you should only need one procedure and never have to worry in the future.

Also included in our package is a free consultation with one of our certified doctors, and extensive aftercare to see how your eyebrow surgery has worked.

Eyebrow Transplant Aftercare

For the subsequent 10-14 days after the surgery, be prepared to expect a small amount of scabbing. The FUE process uses tiny needles to implant hair follicles and so there may be some small scabs that develop. They typically take around 2 weeks to heal.

Feel free to get in touch with us if your donor or recipient site is feeling a little bit sore. We’re happy to help!

In the following weeks and months, it is natural to see your new hairs outgrow the eyebrows that are already there. As the implanted hair follicles have come from your scalp, where they grow quicker and longer, they may need a little bit of extra training. Make sure you give them a good trim and curl in order to have them follow your brow’s natural arch.

Causes of Eyebrow Hair Loss

Eyebrow hair loss has a number of underlying causes, and identifying the right one is an important part of planning your treatment. The most common conditions we see at our clinic include:

Trichotillomania is a hair-pulling disorder that can result in significant eyebrow loss. Provided the follicles have not been permanently damaged through repeated pulling, a transplant can restore what has been lost.

Chemotherapy and radiotherapy used in cancer treatment commonly cause hair loss across the body, including the eyebrows. Once treatment is complete and the patient is medically stable, eyebrow transplantation is a well-established option for restoration.

Traction and scarring from injury, burns, previous surgery or skin conditions can destroy follicles in a localised area. A transplant can implant new follicles into scar tissue where the original ones are no longer viable.

Over-plucking remains one of the most common reasons patients come to us. Years of heavy shaping can permanently damage follicles to the point where natural regrowth is no longer possible.

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks hair follicles, causing patchy hair loss that can affect the eyebrows as well as the scalp. In some cases the loss is partial; in others it can be complete.

Hypothyroidism is an under active thyroid gland and one of the more frequently overlooked causes of eyebrow thinning, particularly affecting the outer third of the brow. Patients often notice gradual thinning over time before connecting it to their thyroid health.

Genetic predisposition means some patients simply have naturally sparse or thin brows with no underlying medical cause. A transplant gives them the density they have never naturally had.

FAQs

Yes. The follicles transplanted during an eyebrow transplant are taken from your scalp donor area, where they are genetically resistant to loss. Once established in the brow, they will continue to grow for life. No other eyebrow restoration procedure, whether tattooing, microblading, or topical treatments, offers permanent hair regrowth with a natural result. You should only need one procedure.

Eyebrow transplants are a permanent solution that can last a lifetime. Using the FUE technique, you will start to see noticeable growth at four to six months after the surgery. The final result will be visible at around 10 months.

It is generally believed that eyebrow transplants will keep growing in much the same way as hair on the back of the scalp. This means that while most eyebrows will stop growing when they are about a half inch long or shorter, transplanted hair may continue to grow.

During an eyebrow transplant procedure, local anaesthesia will be used to minimise pain and discomfort. Medication can be used to help manage any discomfort, and many patients report only minimal discomfort during the procedure. Some patients may choose to sleep, listen to music, or watch television during the procedure.

Good candidates are men and women with stable eyebrow hair loss caused by over-plucking, alopecia, hypothyroidism, scarring, genetics, or previous medical treatment. You must have a healthy donor area at the back or sides of the scalp and realistic expectations of the outcome. Candidates whose hair loss is still actively progressing due to an untreated medical condition should address that first. A consultation with one of our surgeons will confirm whether you are suitable before any procedure is planned.

FUE eyebrow transplants performed by qualified surgeons have high graft survival rates, with the majority of transplanted follicles establishing and producing permanent growth. The final result is visible at around ten to twelve months. Success depends on surgical technique, correct angle and direction of implantation, and post-operative care in the first two weeks. At our clinic, all procedures are performed by GMC and ISHRS-registered surgeons, which is the single most important factor in achieving a consistent, natural result.

Microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing technique that deposits pigment into the skin to simulate the appearance of eyebrow hairs. It typically lasts between one and three years before fading and requires regular top-up appointments. It does not grow real hair and the result is not natural in close-up. An eyebrow transplant implants real hair follicles that grow permanently, feel natural to the touch, and behave like your own hair. It is a one-time surgical procedure with a permanent outcome.

Patient Testimonials

Aside from achieving fantastic results, we believe that keeping in touch with our patients before, during and after their hair transplantation procedure is paramount – it helps to keep our patients feeling calm and in control. We’re always on hand to provide guidance, support and aftercare advice. Time and again, our patients tell us that this is what sets us apart from other clinics.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I didnt know too much about hair transplants so choosing between different companies was quite tricky.
So far, all I can say is I made a great choice and everything has gone really well. Sara and James have been super helpful and attentive through email and WhatsApp whenever I have questions, before, during and in aftercare.
The procedure itself went well with Dr.Ditta leading and his great team supporting. Everyone made me feel very comfortable.
I had the top of my head done with 2750 graphs. Its been two weeks and I am very happy with the progress I can see so far. Its a longer journey for the final results but I would happily recommend based on my my experience.  Thank you!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm now two weeks post-op after having hairline restoration and feminisation surgery, and so far the whole experience really couldn't have been better.

I spent a while looking for a clinic that felt comfortable with gender-affirming hair restoration, rather than somewhere focused almost entirely on male-pattern hair loss. I'm really happy I found this clinic. From the moment I booked, I felt well looked after. Sara and James were always there whenever I had questions or needed help, and they're still supporting me now during recovery.

I also really appreciate that the aftercare doesn't end once the procedure is over. I've already had my two-week follow-up and my next one is scheduled for three months.

The procedure itself went very smoothly thanks to Dr Elgindi and his team. Everyone was incredibly kind, caring and attentive, which made the whole experience much easier to get through than it otherwise would have been.

Dr Elgindi clearly knows exactly what he is doing, explains everything well, and I really appreciated his approach to the donor area, taking care to distribute the extractions rather than overharvesting one section. That was especially important to me, as my donor area mattered just as much as creating the new hairline.

Everything is healing beautifully so far and I'm genuinely very happy with how things are progressing and with the direction the result is taking. I can't wait to see the final outcome.

This is my experience at two weeks post-op, and I'll be updating my review again once I've reached the final result.

Thank you again to Dr Elgindi, Sara, James and the whole team for taking such good care of me.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience so far with HSHT Clinics has been excellent. Sara was my first point of contact in the initial consultation. She immediately put me at ease, explained everything in detail and was able to answer all my questions without ambiguity. After that, everything was very well organised and every appointment has been on time and useful. My surgery was performed by Dr Ditta and his team. That was also a great experience (as far as surgery goes). He was very empathetic and took my ideas and opinions into account before proceeding. The recovery was nowhere near as bad as I anticipated - essentially, I was back to normal in two weeks. It’s been 4 months since the surgery and I’ve had a few follow ups with Sara. So far, everything is looking good! Thanks again to the HSHT clinics. Highly recommend at least a consultation with them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After years of being insecure about my hairline I decided to finally take the plunge and go for a transplant. I had an initial consultation with Sara at the start of May and she was so informative, happy to answer any questions and there was no pressure to book whatsoever. The flexibility with dates was incredible and we settled on a date at the end of June. I had a series of follow up calls with the surgeon in the lead up too which was so helpful and communication was fantastic. On the day, Dr Elgindi and his team were super welcoming and lovely to be around! The procedure was comfortable and a breeze compared to what I was expecting!
In terms of results, I am super happy already with the progress so far, I had minimal swelling and by 10 days all the scabs had fallen off and my new hairline looks fabulous!
I am super excited to see the full results by 12 months time, and would recommend this clinic to anyone in a heartbeat.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Harley Street Hair Transplant Clinic have been great.

As a woman, my hairline has always been a sensitive topic for me, to the point I’d use a ridiculous amount of hairspray before going out to cover everything in the event of a slight breeze.

I finally started looking for clinics in early 2025 but struggled to find ones in the UK with experience of making a hairline more feminine. Thankfully, an acquaintance recommended Harley Street HTC.

After arranging an initial consultation, they were able to provide me with a loss of four and after photos from other women, How many of our clinics were unable to because, understandably, most of their clientele were men.

I have also quite a nervous patient to say the least. However, Sara could not have been more helpful throughout the whole process. She answered all of my many questions promptly and with compassion and care.

The actual transplant went as smooth as you could hope for, and the clinical team were super kind when I was nervous about them shaving the donor area. For reference I had my temples and my front hairline done in their central London clinic.

During the initial two week recovery periods, they went over and above answering my many questions promptly and calming my anxieties around doing different processes correctly.

Since then, they’ve checked in on me every three months for the past year, where I’ve met with Sara to discuss regrowth and upkeep.

As, unlike most looking to get a hair transplant, I had quite long hair already, I’ll be honest and say that there were some periods where my overall hair did not look great due to the drastically different lengths. However, that could not be helped unless I wanted to shave my whole head and start from scratch.

I am happy to report that after 12 months, my donor area is blending in  perfectly with the rest of my hair. Additionally, my recipient area has seen growth of about 4 or 5 inches and is very dense and full.

Although I didn’t have the widest area done, I’m still over the moon with my results. Harley Street HTC has been fantastic throughout and I couldn’t recommend them enough!
