Eyebrow Transplant – Our Technique

Committed to Artistically Designed, Natural-Looking Eyebrow Restoration

Eyebrow Transplant : A Blend of Art and Medical Science

Last Updated: 6 Nov 2025

Eyebrow transplant is a precise surgical procedure that moves hair follicles, typically from the scalp, to the eyebrow region. The team at Dr Bertram Hair Transplant is committed to applying meticulous technique and artistic design to create natural, permanent results for individuals with thinning, over-plucked, or absent eyebrows.

This office-based procedure, performed under local anesthesia, offers a permanent alternative to temporary solutions like makeup or tattooing. It involves the surgical transfer of individual hair follicles to restore shape, density, and definition.

Importance of Eyebrow Design

Designing the eyebrow before a transplant is crucial for several reasons :

1.  Customization

Each person’s facial features are unique, so designing the eyebrow beforehand allows for a customized approach that suits the individual’s face shape, symmetry, and aesthetic preferences.

2.  Natural Appearance

A well-designed eyebrow ensures a natural-looking result post-transplant, avoiding an artificial or mismatched appearance that can occur without proper planning.

3.  Patient Involvement

Involving the patient in the design process ensures their preferences and expectations are considered, leading to higher satisfaction with the final results.

4.  Optimal Placement

Designing the eyebrow before transplant helps determine the optimal placement of the transplanted follicles, ensuring they blend seamlessly with the existing hair and follow the natural growth pattern.

5.  Visual Aid

A pre-transplant design serves as a visual guide for the surgeon during the procedure, enhancing precision and accuracy in follicle placement.

6.  Communication

It facilitates clear communication between the patient and the surgeon, ensuring both parties are aligned on the desired outcome and the steps involved in achieving it.

Overall, designing the eyebrow before a transplant is a fundamental step in achieving natural, harmonious, and satisfying results tailored to each patient’s unique characteristics and preferences.

problems in Eyebrow Design

Eyebrows are the most expressive feature and create a masterline of the face. It is the reference point towards which all other angles and contours of the face are set. Hair transplantation for eyebrow loss was pioneered by Dr. Okuda ( Japan ) in 1939 and thereafter has been performed for many years. Restoring eyebrows have now become a very popular procedure due to the refinement of technique and outstanding results.

Problem 1 - Asymmetry

Though a small area eyebrow transplant demands high precision in design. First requirement is symmetry.

Problem 2 - Not Match Facial Features

Eyebrows are an essential feature of the face because they give the shape of the face and form the facial features of the eye, nose, cheeks, mouth, and chin. Eyebrows are one of some facial features that can be shaped to enhance the beauty of the face. It is essential to consider the type of face and eyes.

The ideal eyebrow shape should closely related to the 6 different shapes of the face: Square, Round, Triangle, Oval Heart, Rectangle. The skeletal structure of the face also determines the basic eyebrow shape. The most pleasing result cannot be achieved if new eyebrows do not match all facial features.

Problem 3 - Change of Mind

We have created eyebrows according to patients’ instruction. Procedure went well and they were happy on going home. However after receiving comments from friends and relatives, they changed their mind about what they liked. After a few days they returned requesting to alter the shape, which is impossible.

Drawbacks of Traditional Flat Technique

Result from using the traditional technique was too “Flat” to meet patients’ high expectations. We have therefore adopted a new 3-dimensional approach to mimic mother nature, paying meticulous attention to the :

•   anatomy and shape of a normal eyebrow
•   Individual differences between their eyebrow
•   scalp hair characters

What is Stick & Place

 S & P is our special technique when individual hair follicles matching the characters of the original eyebrows are inserted one by one into the target area. We adjust the implantation direction and angle of each individual hair according to that of the original eyebrows. Compared with pre-made Incision when all the holes are pre-made, our result is more natural.

Pain-less Procedure

Level I Conscious Sedation

Ensuring patient safety is our first priority. When applying local anesthesia, we strictly follow the Massachusetts Medical Society Office-Based Surgery Guidelines ( USA ). According to this guideline, anesthesia is divided into four levels I, II, III, and IV.

We use the first level when local anesthesia injection is combined with mild oral sedation. It is the safest of the four levels without any intramuscular or intravenous injection.

Local Anesthesia

Our procedure is performed under local anesthesia with oral sedation. The use of the very fine 33G needle ( 0.2mm tip ) and a slow injecting technique are the keys to minimize discomfort during injection.

Final Check & Fine Adjustment

Our doctor will let you final check the result on completion. Fine adjustments is made, if necessary, to meet your requirements.

  • Careful selection of matching donor hair, avoiding white and thick hairMark the positions of the head, peak, and tail of the eyebrows according to patient’s liking
  • Ensure the patients agree with the eyebrow design
  • Adjust the angle, orientation, and direction of insertion along the eyebrow for a 3D Effect
  • Hair of different calibers are planted at different sites
  • Follow our “Eyebrow Taming Protocol” to ensure transplanted hairs flow naturally.
