What Is an Eyebrow Transplant?
Eyebrows can become sparse or thin for a number of reasons, such as over-plucking, alopecia, scarring caused by an injury or burn to the face, or even natural ageing.
An eyebrow transplant in Tunisia uses the FUE hair transplant technique. It can strengthen a thinning or damaged eyebrow, or recreate one entirely for people who have no hair left at all.
Can Eyebrows Be Transplanted?
Yes, hair transplants for eyebrows are entirely possible! The FUE transplant technique can recreate an eyebrow using hair taken from the patient’s scalp. In Tunisia, these procedures are commonly known as eyebrow implants.
How Does an Eyebrow Transplant Work?
An eyebrow transplant in Tunisia is a procedure, similar to a hair transplant, designed to rebuild your natural eyebrows. Donor hair is taken from the scalp and transplanted into the eyebrows to address thinning and achieve fuller brows.
Donor hair is extracted from the back of the scalp using the FUE technique, then prepared under a microscope to isolate individual follicular units.
The donor hairs are then inserted into the thinning areas of the eyebrow, or across the whole eyebrow area, to create a natural-looking result, using a hypodermic needle under high-magnification.
Eyebrow hair transplantation is a very delicate procedure, requiring precise placement of hairs into tiny incisions oriented in the correct direction and positioned to mimic natural growth.
No scalpel is needed and no stitches are required. It’s a microsurgical procedure. Like any follicle transplant, it carries a risk of after-effects (scabbing, swelling, folliculitis) and rarer complications such as infection or numbness[1].
How Long Do Eyebrow Transplants Last?
The available literature on eyebrow transplants is based on small case series and doesn’t allow for an established graft survival rate[2]. Nor does it allow a lifelong result to be promised. Transplanted hairs keep the growth behaviour of their original scalp donor area[3]. Regrowth is gradual, and its timeline varies from patient to patient.
Do Transplanted Eyebrows Keep Growing?
Since the donor hair transplanted into the eyebrow comes from the scalp, it keeps the same growth pattern and will grow to the same length as the hair on your head. As a result, transplanted eyebrow hairs need to be trimmed regularly[3].
This is standard for eyebrow implants, and the donor area affects how often trimming is needed: in an Asian series of 155 patients, hair taken near the temples grew more slowly than hair from the nape of the neck or around the ear[4].
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an eyebrow transplant cost in the UK?
In the UK, an eyebrow transplant costs around £1,800 to £3,000, compared to £950 to £1,450 in Tunisia. The price of an eyebrow implant depends on the technique used and the area to be covered. Compare with eyebrow transplant prices in Turkey.
How many grafts are needed to rebuild an eyebrow?
A technique review estimates that an aesthetic eyebrow reconstruction requires 70 to 120 grafts, placed as single-follicle grafts[5]. This is an author’s recommendation, not a measurement taken from a patient series.
What are the risks of an eyebrow transplant?
After a follicle transplant, the overall complication rate ranges from 1.2% to 4.7% according to a review of 43 studies[1]. On the eyebrow, curl that doesn’t match the natural hair has in some cases led to laser removal[6].
Is FUE better than FUT for eyebrows?
No technique has been shown to be superior: a systematic review of 67 articles concludes that the choice depends on the surgeon and the patient[2]. Follicular unit transplantation remains the most widely used, for both eyebrows and eyelashes.
Who can benefit from an eyebrow transplant?
People who have lost their eyebrows through repeated plucking, scarring or burns, which account for 57.6% of published cases[2]. Grafts come from the scalp: body hair isn’t recommended[3].
Can you get an eyebrow transplant and a hair transplant at the same time?
Both procedures draw from the same reserve of follicles, the scalp, which isn’t unlimited. The surgeon divides it between areas: see prices for hair transplants in Tunisia and beard transplants in Tunisia.
Is an eyebrow transplant covered by health insurance?
No, as this is a cosmetic procedure, it typically isn’t publicly funded. Coverage depends on your individual circumstances, so it’s worth checking with the NHS to see what applies to you. After a burn or injury, a medical opinion is advisable. See also cosmetic surgery in Tunisia.
