Can I Get Hair Transplant Surgery for my Eyebrows?

Question

ever since I was 13 I was plucking my eyebrows, the wrong way, i have pulled out some of the roots in the start of my eyebrows and in the curves of my eyebrow line. so now theres a huge gap between my eyebrows. is it possible to get very minor hair implant surgery to put back hair follicles in my eyebrows? how much would it run? thanks..

Many people who pluck do not scar and the eyebrows do regrow. For those hairs that do not regrow, hair transplants with single hairs can be done by experienced transplant surgeons. The cost could be very different from surgeon to surgeon and depending upon the town in which the surgeon practices.

Eyebrow transplantation takes a special set of skills.  We are unique in the sense that we will do off-label use of ARTAS for eyebrows to get quality grafts for transplantation.  The key with eyebrows is to ensure that the implanted hairs follow the natural direction of the eyebrow.  Best Anil Shah

yes, hair can be taken from the scalp and transplanted to the eyebrow to create permanent, full eyebrows.  We charge $5,500. The procedure is performed with the patient awake.  it takes about 6 hours.

Hair transplant to the eyebrows can work quite well, especially for small areas that are asymmetric or need to be filled in for one reason or another. Be sure to see a hair restoration expert such as a fellowship-trained hair restoration surgeon, as eyebrow transplant is a more advanced technique. Cost will vary widely from one surgeon to another.
All the best,

Always check with your doctor if you would be a candidate for eyebrow transplant surgery.  What you ask is possible but a doctor needs to examine you first.

Amazing results can be achieved using specific follicles to restore density or even shape your brow to frame your eyes perfectly.  The procedure is well tolerated and results are seen in as little as 2 months.

Eyebrow hair transplant can be done. It is very important that the surgery is done by an experience hair doctor in order to properly relocate the follicles so they grow in a natural way.

Eyebrows are an important facial feature that are essential to our appearance.  Unfortunately for some people, eyebrows can be lost for many different reasons.

When transplanting eyebrows, it is essential to follow the natural hair direction of the eyebrows very carefully because there are very refined changes in the angle of the hairs.

Thank you for your question - absolutely!  Hair transplant surgery to the eyebrows is a great treatment for those patients who have over plucked their eyebrows, hair loss from scars in their eyebrow region, or just genetics.  It is best to see a surgeon who specializes in hair transplantation because it is important to recreate the natural arch of the eyebrow with the finest, single hairs available.  Cost varies between surgeon to surgeon, but during your consultation, the surgeon will evaluate your eyebrows to assess how many hairs you need and commonly the price is dependent on how many hairs is needed to achieve your goals.  I hope this helps!

Yes, there is indeed a surgery dedicated to restoring
eyebrow hairs, called an eyebrow transplant. The procedure is done by an
experienced surgeon who replaces the lost hair follicles to make the brows look
more full and to give the face a stronger frame. The price of an eyebrow
transplant is dependent on the surgeon you choose and the region in which you
live. For a more accurate assessment of how much an eyebrow transplant will
cost and to answer any remaining questions, consult a few doctors in your area.

Yes you can transplant hair to the eyebrows. Particular hairs that match should be selected and remember this hair will grow faster that the other eyebrow hair.
