What is Eyebrow Transplant and How Is It Done? Guide for the Most Natural Result

Eyebrows, the most striking frame of the face, directly affect the depth of the gaze, the symmetry of the face and emotional expression. Over-plucking, genetic hair loss, thyroid disorders, permanent makeup (microblading) errors or past trauma can lead to partial or complete loss of the eyebrows. At Medlook Private Clinic, we do not see eyebrow transplantas an ordinary hair transfer procedure, but as one in line with the “golden ratio” of your face, natural eyebrow architecture as a design.

While methods such as permanent makeup and tattooing change color over time (reddening, graying) and present an artificial appearance, eyebrow transplantis the transplantation of hair follicles that belong entirely to you into the eyebrow area. It is the only permanent way in the medical literature to obtain 100% natural, growing real eyebrows that you can shape.

How Is Eyebrow Transplant Done? Step by Step Process

Compared with hair transplantation (especially compared with hair transplantation in women), an eyebrow transplant is a micro-surgical operation performed in a much smaller area but requiring far greater aesthetic precision and fine craftsmanship.

1. Architectural Design (Preliminary Drawing): It is the most vital part of the procedure. The muscle structure, bone anatomy and eye structure of your face are measured millimetrically. The curve and thickness that best suits your face is determined instead of an artificial, too thick or a model that will make you look angry / surprised all the time.
2. Collection of Roots (Grafts): Usually, the single and finest hair follicles are harvested from the lowest part of the nape using special micro-motors (using the FUE technique for eyebrow transplantation). The Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant method, in which the hair is not shaved, is frequently preferred at our clinic.
3. Trenching and Planting: Unlike hair, eyebrows grow parallel to the face (at a horizontal angle of about 10-15 degrees) and fanning out from the nose to the temple. Placing the roots with this natural direction and angle of origin is the main element that makes the procedure look natural.

“Natural Eyebrow Architecture” Approach at Medlook

In many centers, implanting more grafts (follicles) is presented as a criterion of success (you can find details about industry approaches in our article on Istanbul eyebrow transplant centers). However, we, “quality > quantity” principle. The important thing is not to plant many eyebrows, but to place them in the right direction, at the right angle and with a natural density arrangement (such as single roots in the inner parts and double roots in the middle parts).

Our aim is that you will never be able to tell from the outside that you have undergone eyebrow transplantation and that your eyebrows will provide a complete integrity with your face. With our motto “Health on the inside, Beauty on the outside”, we also include supportive treatments such as PRP and mesotherapy for the healthy attachment of the roots after transplantation.
