Hair transplant to eyebrows or eyebrow tattoo?

Question

what is the cost of both in Toronto and which one will give me better long term results?

Sanusi Umar, MD · Answer

An eyebrow tattoo will likely be less expensive than an eyebrow transplant, as transplants tend to charge per graft. An eyebrow transplant, however, will yield better, more realistic results because it provides you with your own hair. The growth that you see after an eyebrow transplant surgery is permanent and yours to shape however you want. The pigment used in eyebrow tattoos, on the other hand, is semi-permanent and typically requires touch-ups on a yearly basis. The pigment is often easily detectable and artificial-looking, and can turn blue or green due to the Tyndall effect.

Many women (and men) have eyebrow tattoos.  Tattooing of the eye brow is not a medical procedure.  Doctors usually do not perform eyebrow tattoos.  Doctors perform hair transplants/ eyebrow transplants.  Some doctors (rare) do both.  Both give you long term results.  It all depend on what you are looking for, your examination and personal preference.

Yael Halaas, MD · Answer

When deciding between having an eyebrow transplant
procedure and getting an eyebrow tattoo, it is important to understand the
difference between the results. Because the transplant is replacing hair, it
will look more natural and will give your eyebrows proper dimension. Meanwhile,
eyebrow tattoos lack the three dimensionality of actual hair and are less
natural-looking, but can be permanently shaped to your preferences. In the end,
the decision is yours and should be based on whichever result most satisfies
your wants.

Eyebrow tattooing can be done for most types of eyebrow loss. Hair transplants, however, can only be done for some causes of eyebrow loss (for example genetically thin brows, over plucking/ tweezing, trichotillomania). The cost ranges depending on the number of hairs but you'll find $ 5,000-9,000 is a standard range. They are both good options but drastically different. The look is different. The upkeep is different (cutting the brows vs possible fading of tattoo pigments).

There is a clear difference between the two. One is the appearance of hair the other is actual hair. Look to find a doctor in your area and check out prices.
