Eyebrow Transplant at a Glance
Why Eyebrow Transplants?
Eyebrows frame your face and significantly impact your appearance. Thin, sparse, or missing brows can result from over-plucking, genetics, aging, medical conditions, or accidents. An eyebrow transplant uses your own scalp hair to create fuller, natural-looking brows that are permanent.
Common Reasons for Eyebrow Transplants
- ✓ Over-plucking damage
- ✓ Naturally thin/sparse brows
- ✓ Alopecia areata
- ✓ Thyroid conditions
- ✓ Scar coverage (accidents, surgery)
- ✓ Chemotherapy hair loss
- ✓ Aging-related thinning
- ✓ Trichotillomania
The Procedure
1. Brow Design
Surgeon draws ideal brow shape based on your facial structure, existing brows, and goals. This is collaborative — you approve the design before proceeding.
2. Donor Extraction
Single-hair grafts extracted from the back of your scalp (fine hairs that best match eyebrow characteristics). Small donor area — easily hidden.
3. Implantation
Grafts implanted one by one at precise angles (very flat, 10-15°) to mimic natural brow growth direction. DHI technique often preferred for precision.
Graft Requirements
| Goal | Grafts (per brow) | Medellín Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Fill sparse areas | 100-150 | $800-1,200 |
| Full reconstruction | 200-300 | $1,450-2,000 |
| Maximum density | 300-400 | $2,000-2,500 |
Note: Prices are for both eyebrows combined.
Important Considerations
Scalp Hair ≠ Brow Hair
Transplanted scalp hair grows continuously like scalp hair — you'll need to trim your eyebrows regularly (every 1-2 weeks). The hair also grows straighter than natural brow hair initially.
Over time (6-12 months), many patients find the transplanted hair adapts somewhat to its new location and becomes easier to manage. Results look very natural when properly maintained.
Recovery Timeline
Mild swelling, tiny scabs. Avoid getting brows wet.
Scabs fall off. Can resume normal activities.
Shock loss (transplanted hairs shed). Normal.
New growth emerges. Full results by 12 months.
