Treatment duration
A procedure commonly takes 4–7 hours depending on graft number and donor method.
Treatment explained
Follicular units are harvested from a suitable scalp donor area, divided when necessary into single-hair grafts and placed into tiny recipient sites. Transplanted scalp hair may grow longer than eyebrow hair and require trimming.
Problems and conditions
Possible suitability
Safety screening
This list is not exhaustive. The treating clinician must confirm contraindications and any condition-specific precautions.
Individual assessment
Assessment reviews cause of loss, current brow hair, facial symmetry, desired shape, makeup habits, scarring, donor hair and keloid history. The design is agreed with the patient sitting upright.
Step-by-step overview
A procedure commonly takes 4–7 hours depending on graft number and donor method.
Local anaesthetic injections numb donor scalp and eyebrow areas. Sedation may be considered.
The exact technique, setting and anaesthetic plan require confirmation from the treating clinician after examination.
Downtime and healing
Swelling can extend around the eyelids.
Transplanted shafts commonly shed.
Direction and density become clearer gradually.
Surviving grafts can grow long term, but density is limited by safe spacing. Hairs often need regular trimming and training with gel.
Recovery and result timing are general ranges, not guarantees. Your written instructions and review findings take priority.

Yes. Scalp grafts usually retain scalp growth characteristics and need trimming.
Natural faces are asymmetric, and healing and graft growth vary; perfect symmetry cannot be guaranteed.
Stable loss may be suitable when donor hair is adequate and there is no active disease.
Sometimes, but tattoo colour, scar tissue and desired outline must be assessed.
Wait until crusts have cleared and the surgeon confirms the skin is healed.
The number depends on existing hair, width, shape, scar tissue and safe spacing.
The eyebrow border normally consists of individual fine hairs; large grafts can look pluggy.
Active disease can cause graft loss and needs specialist medical assessment before surgery.
