An eyebrow transplant rebuilds thin, patchy or missing eyebrows with your own hair follicles, usually taken from the scalp behind the ear where the hair is finest. Each eyebrow typically needs 150 to 400 grafts.
The result is living hair that does not wash off and is permanent in most people. Because it is scalp hair, it keeps growing long and must be trimmed every week or two, and it may need training with gel to lie flat.
What Eyebrow Transplant involves
The surgeon draws the new brow shape with you seated upright, matching your bone structure and any remaining hairs, and you approve it in a mirror. A small patch of donor scalp is trimmed and numbed, and follicles are taken by FUE or, less often, from a short strip. Under a microscope the grafts are split into single hairs, since natural brows grow as singles. After numbing the brow, the surgeon makes fine slits almost flat to the skin: pointing upwards at the inner end, then fanning outwards, with upper hairs angled down and lower hairs angled up so they meet in a central ridge. Each hair is placed so that its natural curl points towards the skin.
Who is a good candidate for Eyebrow Transplant?
The best candidates have a stable, known cause for their eyebrow loss.
- Over-plucked brows that have not regrown after a year or more
- Scars from injury, burns or surgery
- Naturally sparse brows
- Stable loss after treated thyroid disease or past chemotherapy
- People unhappy with faded tattooing or microblading who want real hair, once the skin has healed
It is usually not the right choice if:
- Alopecia areata or frontal fibrosing alopecia that is active or recent, since grafts are likely to be lost
- Untreated thyroid or skin disease causing the loss
- Trichotillomania involving the brows until pulling has stopped for a sustained period
- People who are not prepared to trim and groom regularly
- Very curly donor hair, which is hard to direct, without an honest discussion of the look
الخيارات التقنية
- FUE from behind the ear: Fine single hairs harvested individually. Most common choice.
- Small strip harvest: Gives intact long hairs so direction and curl are seen during placement. Leaves a short line scar hidden in the hair.
- Implanter pen placement: Helps to hold the very flat angle required.
- Partial restoration: Filling only the tail or a scar gap, blended with existing hairs.
ماذا يحدث خلال علاجك
The procedure takes 2 to 4 hours under local anaesthetic. Injections around the brow sting briefly. You are awake and can check the design before any sites are made. You go home the same day with no bandage on the brows.
الإعداد لرحلتك
Plan for 2 to 3 days in Istanbul. Your surgeon reviews photographs and your medical history before you book, and you meet in person the day before surgery for examination, marking and consent with a professional interpreter.
- Stop smoking and nicotine at least four weeks before and after surgery; it is the single biggest avoidable cause of wound problems
- Tell the team about every medicine and supplement you take; blood thinners, some herbal products and hormone treatment may need to be paused on your doctor's advice
- Arrange for someone to travel with you or to be reachable, and keep the first days at home free of work and lifting
- Book a changeable return flight; your surgeon confirms when you are fit to fly
التعافي والنتائج
Pinpoint crusts and pinkness last 5 to 7 days, and the eyelids can swell or bruise for a few days. Keep the brows dry for 3 days, do not rub them, and avoid make-up on the area for about 10 days. The hairs shed at 2 to 4 weeks. Regrowth begins around month 3 to 4 and the result matures by 9 to 12 months. About 10 to 20 percent of people choose a small touch-up for extra density.
- Back to everyday activity: 5 to 7 days
- When results show: Growth from month 3 to 4; final at 9 to 12 months
- How long they last: Permanent; needs regular trimming
سياسة السلامة والمخاطر والتنقيح
Direction is everything in the eyebrow, and most problems relate to it.
- Hairs growing outwards or in the wrong direction, giving a bristly look
- Asymmetry between the two brows
- Partial graft failure with gaps
- Curl or coarse texture that does not match the original brow hair
- Ingrown hairs or small pimples
- Tiny scars or a colour change at graft sites
- Bruising around the eyes
Every written proposal arranged through Clinic-Y states what the clinic covers if a correction is needed. Ask for it before you book, not after.
Cost of Eyebrow Transplant in Türkiye
Clinic-Y does not publish a single price for Eyebrow Transplant, because the honest figure depends on your case. What moves it:
- Number of grafts, and one or both brows
- FUE versus strip harvest
- Work in scarred or tattooed skin
- Whether a touch-up session is included
- The surgeon's personal involvement in design and site making

الأسئلة المتكررة
How does this compare with microblading?
Microblading is pigment and fades in 1 to 2 years. A transplant is real hair with texture, but requires surgery and upkeep. Some people combine them.
Will the hairs always need trimming?
Yes, in most people. Growth may slow a little over the years but it remains scalp hair.
Can men have it?
Yes. The design is flatter and thicker, and scar cover is a common reason.
