The Procedure

Eyebrow Restoration

Patchy, partial or missing eyebrows can often be restored with your own hair. An eyebrow transplant moves hair from the back of the head to the brow area, and the new brow is carefully designed to meet your objectives.

Key takeaways

  • Hair transplantation has been used successfully for many years to fill out patchy or partial eyebrows, restore absent eyebrows and camouflage scars within the eyebrow area.
  • An eyebrow transplant moves your own hair from the back of the head to the brow area. The brow is designed around density, hair angle and hair direction.
  • The procedure takes approximately 3 to 4 hours, and both the donor area and the recipient area heal very quickly.
  • Over the next few months, the new hairs fall out, which is completely normal, and then regrow. Occasional trimming is required as they grow into their new position.

Loss of eyebrow hair can make an individual feel very self-conscious about his or her appearance, and new hair transplantation techniques can often restore the hair. You often don't realize the full impact that eyebrows can make on the total facial appearance until you see a person without them.

Why eyebrows matter

Eyebrows provide definition and expression for your face. Whether brows are missing as a result of injury, plucking or genetics, the effects can be devastating, no matter what your gender.

While many people get by with an eyebrow pencil or tattooing, it is possible to transplant your own hair to create natural eyebrows of your own.

What eyebrow restoration can do

Hair transplantation has been used successfully for many years to:

  • Fill out patchy or partial eyebrows
  • Restore absent eyebrows
  • Camouflage scars within the eyebrow area

Hair from the scalp can also be moved to the beard area: a beard transplant can fill in patchy facial hair or create a beard from scratch.

How eyebrow transplantation works

Eyebrow transplantation is a procedure that transplants hair from the head to the brow area. The procedure itself takes approximately 3 to 4 hours.

  1. 01

    Design

    The brow is carefully designed to meet your objectives, taking into account density, hair angle and hair direction.

  2. 02

    Harvest

    Hair for the eyebrow is taken from the back of the head by removing a small amount of hair-containing tissue.

  3. 03

    Transplant

    The harvested hair is placed in the brow area.

  4. 04

    Heal

    Both the donor area and the recipient area heal very quickly.

After the procedure

You might experience some mild discomfort, and occasionally some swelling, which quickly resolves.

Worth knowing

Over the next few months, the new hairs will fall out (this is completely normal) and then regrow from the transplanted hair follicles.

As the transplanted hairs grow into their new position, occasional trimming is required.

Questions patients ask

Eyebrow restoration questions

What can an eyebrow transplant fix?

Hair transplantation has been used successfully for many years to fill out patchy or partial eyebrows, to restore absent eyebrows and even to camouflage scars within the eyebrow area. Brows can be missing as a result of injury, plucking or genetics.

Where does the hair for an eyebrow transplant come from?

From the back of your head. A small amount of hair-containing tissue is removed there, and the hair is transplanted to the brow area. The brow is carefully designed to meet your objectives, taking into account density, hair angle and hair direction.

How long does an eyebrow transplant take?

The procedure itself takes approximately 3 to 4 hours. Both the donor area and the recipient area heal very quickly. You might have some mild discomfort afterward, and occasionally some swelling, which quickly resolves.

Is it normal for transplanted eyebrow hairs to fall out?

Yes. Over the next few months, the new hairs fall out, which is completely normal, and then regrow from the transplanted hair follicles. As they grow into their new position, occasional trimming is required.
