n eyebrow hair transplant is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to restore or enhance eyebrow hair by transplanting hair follicles from another part of the body—usually the scalp—into the eyebrow area. It’s ideal for people with thin, sparse, over-plucked, or scarred eyebrows, or for those who simply want a fuller, more defined brow shape.
How Eyebrow Hair Transplant Works
The process is very similar to a scalp hair transplant, just on a much smaller, more delicate scale:
1. Donor Area Selection
Hair is typically harvested from the back of the scalp, where hair texture is closest to natural eyebrow hair.
2. Extraction (FUE Method)
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) is commonly used.
Individual hair follicles are extracted using a fine, precise tool, minimizing scarring.
3. Graft Preparation
The extracted follicles are cleaned, sorted, and prepared under a microscope.
4. Design & Implantation
Tiny incisions are made in the brow area according to the desired shape, thickness, and natural hair direction.
Follicles are implanted with meticulous attention to angle and curl for a natural look.
Ideal Candidates
People with:
Over-plucked or shaved brows
Scars in the brow area
