Can I use eyebrow transplant to only change the shape of my eyebrows?

wpwpwpDec 2, 2016
I have enough eyebrows hair but I don't like the shape of them. I don't want to use scalp hair because of trimming frequency. Can I just use my current eyebrows hair to donor and change location of growth rather than look for hair from some other parts of my body? Thank you

An eyebrow typically will take roughly 300+ per eyebrow for a full reconstruction. There is no minimum or maximum though and this will have to be decided on with your hair transplant specialist during your consultation.
