Our Eyebrow Transplant Technique
Clinical overview of FUE technique for eyebrow restoration.
Key Technical Considerations
- Hair direction: Natural brows have complex directional changes — upward at inner head, converging at arch, sweeping downward and outward at the tail.
- Hair caliber: Nape hair matches natural brow texture.
- Facial symmetry: Brow shape is customized to facial structure.
Eyebrow Design Considerations
Thinning eyebrow
Marking of transplanted area
Post-procedure result
Example: Asymmetry
- Graft density: Appropriate density selection is important for natural appearance.
- Arch shape: Arch should align with facial structure.
- Growth direction: Follicles should be inserted following natural flow.
- Positioning: Brow position affects facial expression.
- Symmetry: Balanced positioning is important.
Design Protocol
- Step 1: Consultation — assess hair loss cause and donor area.
- Step 2: Anatomical design — draft shape based on bone structure.
- Step 3: Precision mapping — mark outline.
- Step 4: Final review — patient approval before procedure begins.
FUE Stick-&-Paste Technique
- Graft placement: Slit made and graft inserted, allowing angle adjustment.
- Natural flow: Each graft oriented to match native eyebrow pattern.
- Graft selection: Finest hairs placed at medial head and tail for soft transition; robust hairs at arch for definition.
- Donor harvesting: 0.7–0.8 mm punches from nape of neck.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is nape hair preferred for eyebrows?
Nape hair is finer and softer, matching natural brow texture.
Q: How long does the procedure take?
Approximately 3–4 hours for bilateral eyebrow restoration.
Q: Is the procedure painful?
Local anesthesia numbs the area. Most patients report minimal discomfort.
Q: Can I see the design before the procedure?
Yes. The design is drawn on your face for approval before anesthesia is administered.
