Suitability is decided after an assessment by the treating clinician, based on brow density, symmetry, the donor area and expectations.
Complete Brow Absence
For complete brow loss due to alopecia, scarring or other medical causes, reconstruction can be discussed; whether it is possible is decided at the medical assessment.
- Arch shape planning
- Symmetry considered
- Underlying cause assessed first
Treatment Journey
The three main stages the process generally follows.
Consultation
Brow density, facial proportions and hair texture are reviewed with the clinician, who also decides the graft count.
Operation
FUE, usually under local anaesthetic – the angle and direction of the hairs are taken into account.
Recovery
Care in the first days follows the treating team's instructions; growth develops over several months and varies from person to person.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the procedure painful?
A local anaesthetic is used; discuss possible pain and pain management with the treating team beforehand.
When do transplanted hairs grow?
After a temporary shedding phase, growth often begins within a few months; when the final look settles varies from person to person.
Are the results permanent?
Transplanted hairs from the donor area usually keep growing; they tend to grow faster than brow hairs, so they need regular trimming. How many grafts take varies from person to person.
Where are the hairs harvested from?
Grafts are usually taken from the back of the scalp; the clinician chooses the area whose hair texture is the closest match.
How long does the procedure take?
The duration depends on the graft count and is often a few hours; the treating clinic will give you a precise estimate.
Can I travel immediately after the procedure?
The treating team will tell you when you can travel. Plan your stay so that you can attend the first check-up in Istanbul; our support team can help with travel planning.
Comprehensive Guide to Eyebrow Transplant Process
Eyebrow transplantation is based on the same principles as hair transplantation: with FUE, individual follicles are taken from the donor area and placed in the brow region.
Growth direction and angle play an important role because brow hairs follow their own pattern.
Transplanted hairs usually keep growing like scalp hair and therefore need regular trimming; results vary from person to person.
