Eyebrow transplant is the procedure of transplanting hair, which is usually taken from the back of the head to the eyebrow area. It is possible to get a natural and desirable result with a skilled surgeon and health care team. During this procedure, an average of 500 hair grafts can be transplanted.
Eyebrows have various functions such as protecting the eyes and having a role in non-verbal communication. They have an important role in making up the facial structure, so having thin or weak eyebrows may affect the personal mood negatively. The reason for having thin eyebrows or losing eyebrows vary such as trauma, some medical conditions, or congenital. Eyebrow transplant offers a permanent and natural solution for individuals who are not happy with the appearance of their eyebrows.
How is eyebrow transplantation performed?

The follicles are extracted from the donor area and then implanted into the channels opened in the eyebrow area. Special blades are used during implantation. The whole procedure takes around 2-3 hours.
Although the recovery period takes around 1 week, patients can usually return to their social life 1 day after the operation.
