How many grafts do I need to fill in the eyebrow? (photos)

dishdash
My right eyebrow (left in the pic) was damaged in an accident over two decades ago. Recently, I've been thinking about getting a transplant so I compared both of my eyebrows and counted the actual number of hairs missing and thought that I need around 20 hairs transplanted. But few HT doctors that I met have said that I need around 40-50, which sounds quite high too me. I'm wondering if having too many would look weird? Do you guys think 20 grafts would be enough to make my eyebrow look normal?
