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.
What Should I Expect on the Day of my Eyebrow Transplant Procedure?
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
Suitable candidates can be both men and women, although we see mostly women for eyebrow transplants. The main issues that patients usually want to address is eyebrow thinning and shape. These issues are addressed and fixed with surgery.
Other important aspects are patient expectations as well as quality of the donor area. If a patient has unrealistic expectations of what they want achieving, an eyebrow transplant isn’t going to be suitable, so it is very important that both the expectations align with what’s achievable and the donor area quality and calibre is suitable when considering an eyebrow transplant surgery.
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.

FAQs
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.
