Eyebrow Transplant
About Eyebrow Transplants
What is an eyebrow transplant?
Eyebrow transplant surgery gives you the eyebrows you want — whether it’s a bold brow or an understated look. It works by removing follicles from other areas of the body — usually the side of the head — and inserting them along your thinning browline.
Eyebrow restoration is usually performed using the FUE or DHI hair transplant technique, although the FUT strip method is not uncommon. The results are natural and subtle, giving you confidence in your look without makeup or microblading.
How does an eyebrow transplant work?
The first step is to numb the area around your brows with anaesthetic, so your experience will be mostly painless. Sedatives are also available if you feel tense or worried before the procedure.
Your surgeon uses a specialist device to extract the single-grafted hair and then place
the follicles into small incisions along the desired area. When the hair starts to grow,
you will have natural-looking eyebrows
Why Have an Eyebrow Transplant?
There are a number of explanations as to why many of our patients come to us requiring an eyebrow transplant. Whilst it is often difficult to avoid the problem of hereditary hair loss, damaged or thin eyebrows can often occur as a direct result of environmental and social influences. Here are some of the explanations as to why many of our patients require an eyebrow transplant:
- Compulsive Plucking – this is where hair loss, or thinning, occurs as a direct result of over plucking the hairs in your eyebrow area be it as a result of fashion trends or a medical condition known as trichotillomania.
- Scar Coverage – Many patients often want an eyebrow transplant as a means of covering facial injury sustained in events such as: physical assault, car crashes, or thermal and chemical burns
- Nutrient Deficiencies – believe it or not, eyebrow hair loss can sometimes occur as a result of not getting enough vitamins into your diet. Vitamins A, E, and Zinc all play an important role in producing natural oils for your hair.
- Medical Treatments – Many medical treatments (especially cancer treatments, such as: Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy) can often lead to hair loss all over the body.
How much does an eyebrow transplant cost?
The cost of eyebrow transplant surgery starts from £2,999 + This, primarily, is dependent upon the severity of the hair loss. With any hair transplant, the main bulk of the cost comes with the number of grafts needed to be extracted and re-implanted.

Eyebrow procedure FAQs
Eyebrow transplants are a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure that doesn’t require general anaesthesia or an overnight stay.
On average, each brow requires around 250–400 individual hairs to create a full, natural appearance. Learn more about how the procedure works in our FAQs.
Can I design how my eyebrows will look?
Yes. Your surgeon will work with you to create a natural, age-appropriate brow shape based on your preferences and facial features.
How long does the procedure take?
Most eyebrow transplants take around 4 hours. It’s a same-day outpatient procedure.
What is the recovery time?
Recovery is typically quick—most patients return to normal activities within 4–6 days.
Do I need to take time off work?
Yes. A couple of days off is recommended to allow for initial healing.
Will I need to maintain the new eyebrows?
Yes. Since the hair comes from your scalp, it may grow longer than natural eyebrow hair and will need occasional trimming.
Are there side effects?
Mild swelling, itchiness, or tenderness can occur but usually resolve within a few days.
