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?
Answer: Hair Transplant Thanks for the question. Based on your photos, the 100-400 grafts might be good option for you, but it would be wrong to say something for sure. You should see a board certified surgeon. You can then plan the process together and discuss the results. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Number of Grafts to Fill in Eyebrows The average number of grafts needed for eyebrow transplantation tends to range from 50-325 grafts. It is certainly possible to undergo this type of surgery with around 80 grafts to achieve your desired outcome and look your very best. The number of grafts needed would be affected by the sparseness of the pre-existing eyebrow, and the desired goal for shape and size. Additionally, the thickness of the hair used will influence this. Using body hair for instance with thinner hair caliber may call for the use of more grafts. If you would like a smaller number of grafts, try to find a doctor who can accommodate your needs through a cost structure along these lines.

Answer: Pick your number You will have a wide variety of opinion for each doctor your consult. It isn't only the NUMBER you should focus on, it is how it will look in the end. It isn't just about filling in the missing spots, but filling in the adjacent areas to make it blend in with your normal eyebrow hair.Don't worry about the number, if you trust the doctor, let the doctor do his work. You're not paying per graft for eyebrow surgery so it should not matter.No matter how great the surgeon, how perfect the surgery, transplanted hairs may look different and stand out against your normal eyebrow. If done right, it will be an overall improvement. If done wrong, it will stick out.

Answer: How many grafts? (eyebrows) Even though it seems 30-35 would do nicely, you can't go wrong with 20. The only downside if you don't like the density (not thick enough) is you'd need to add more in the future. Anyone with a scar needs to keep in mind that grafts survival or graft uptake might be less than if there was no scar tissue. In other words, instead of 92-94 % of hairs surviving, it can range 60-80 %. Of the 20 hairs that are put in, it's possible only 12 survive. If you put in 35 and 60-70 % survive, you'd reach 20, which is your personal target number. So keep this in mind when planning the procedure. Anyone with scars needs to be aware of the possibility of reduced graft survival and the possible need to do a second touch up session down the road.

Answer: Eyebrow transplants If you look at a normal eyebrow, the hair count in the eyebrow is about 200-250 hairs. So if you needed an entire eyebrow, then this is the number of grafts that would make is look very full, assuming you don't have any eyebrow hair. So calculate the length of the eyebrow and the calculation will tell you how many hair are the right number. For 1/4th of an eyebrow, 50 hair grafts is the correct number. From the photos I would assume that 20-30 might be the right number. It would depend upon how coarse or fine you hair is. The coarser the hair, the less hair is needed.
