What is Eyebrow Transplant ?

Last Updated: 6 Nov 2025

Traditionally, the remedy for thin or sparse eyebrows has been to rely on makeup products or tatooing to fill in “gaps”. Those who expect a more permanent result have now one option : Eyebrow Transplant. This is an office procedure performed by doctor. Hairs are surgically removed and transferred from the back of the head under local anesthesia. Eyebrow hair hransplant before and after pictures can be found in Dr Bertram.

Sara’s Comment

Eyebrow transplant requires a careful balance between art and precision. The angle, direction, and natural flow of each graft are critical to achieve a realistic 3-D result. Eyebrow hairs must be placed extremely flat and grow in the correct orientation to blend naturally. Patience and attention to detail are essential as a few degrees off makes a big difference.

Who're Good candidates for Eyebrow Transplant ?

Eyebrow transplant was initially used to repair defect. Recently there has been a surge of demand by both men and women in enhancing the shape and thickness of their normal eyebrow. Eyebrow transplant can produce very natural looking result in the following conditions :

How Many Grafts Are Needed?

What is a Graft ?

In eyebrow transplant, a graft refers to a natural unit of hair follicles taken from the donor area of the scalp (usually the back of the head). Each graft may contain one to four hairs, but for eyebrows, only single-hair grafts are typically used to ensure a soft and natural appearance. In our office we employ the highest standard of skill in graft insertion:

Eyebrows require precision and finesse, so we carefully select grafts that contain just one hair.
Each graft is implanted with attention to angle, direction, and flow to mimic natural eyebrow hair growth.
The number of grafts used determines the density, fullness, and shape of your new eyebrows.

How to Calculate Total number of graft ?

Total number of graft depends on 3 factors

•   Density desired, usually 30 – 50 grafts per sq.cm
•   Amount and quality of your existing eyebrow
•   Length and width of your desired eyebrow to calculate the total areas

More is obviously required for males who wish to have thicker and wider eyebrows. In general 250 to 300 grafts are needed per side (500 to 600 for both sides) to rebuild an entire eyebrow of average density. Less if only part of the eyebrow needs to be repaired. More for those who prefer bushy eyebrow.

Where do We Get the Grafts ?

Grafts are usually harvested from the back of your scalp, the so-called Donor Area;
This area is ideal because the hair there is healthy, genetically permanent, and its texture can match natural eyebrow hairs if selected carefully.

How do We Get the Grafts ?

We use two main techniques — both are safe and proven:

1. FUE（ Follicular Unit Extraction ）
  - Individual grafts are extracted one by one using a micro-punch tool
  - Minimally invasive, no stitches, tiny dot scars that heal quickly
  - Ideal for eyebrow transplant since it allows precise selection of soft, single-hair grafts
  - 95% of our Eyebrow Transplant are using this FUE technique

FUT（ Follicular Unit Transplantation ）
- A small strip of scalp is removed, and grafts are dissected under a microscope
- May leave a fine linear scar, but provides many grafts at once
- We still extract only single-hair grafts for eyebrow use
