The shape and density of eyebrows can change the way we look, give a softer or harsher appearance, and affect the symmetry of the face. Thus, many different techniques to shape eyebrows have been developed and tried over the years. However, improper trimming or over plucking can disrupt the look of eyebrows permanently and cause thin or sparse eyebrows.

Even though makeup techniques can remedy these problems, it is rather time-consuming and generally not permanent. This is why eyebrow transplant is becoming a more popular option for the recovery of sparse or thin eyebrows.

Eyebrow hair transplant procedure

eyebrow transplant female procedure steps

Eyebrow hair transplant is a cosmetic procedure that involves transferring hair follicles to the eyebrow area to improve the density and shape.

Eyebrow transplant is a similar procedure to a hair transplant. Basically, the hair follicles are collected from the back of your head, which is called the donor area, and transplanted to your eyebrow area.

As eyebrow transplant requires not more than 300 grafts, a small area can be used to extract hair follicles. Especially, if you have long hair you can cover the donor area and continue your daily life without any noticeable difference.

The operation is performed under local anaesthesia to ensure maximum comfort. Almost all our patients report that it is not a painful process.

Since the recipient area is relatively smaller and the number of needed hair grafts is lower, eyebrow transplant takes less time than traditional hair transplant.

From the beginning to the end, the operation will take 3-4 hours, and you could easily go home by yourself after the surgery.

Eyebrow transplant vs Microblading comparison

Which one is better: eyebrow transplant vs microblading?

Which eyebrow treatment is better: microblading or eyebrow transplant? Microblading is a tattooing technique that is developed to reshape eyebrows and create a more even and thicker eyebrow look. Unlike traditional tattoo machines, microblading is done using a hand-held tool. The sparse eyebrow areas are filled in with fine tattoo strokes that imitate real eyebrow hairs. Unlike eyebrow transplant, microblading is not a permanent solution, and it can only offer a short-term solution compared to eyebrow transplant.

Deciding on which treatment is the better option entirely depends on your goals and expectations. If you want a cheaper and quicker fix, then microblading might be the right option for you. However, if you are looking for a long-term solution with a more natural look, then an eyebrow transplant is a better choice.
