Eyebrow Transplant Surgery

Welcome to our guide on eyebrow transplant surgery, now available at HQ Hair Transplants, Cardiff. Under the expertise of Dr Shah, a renowned eyebrow-restoration specialist, we are proud to offer tailored eyebrow replacement, infill, and revision procedures to help both men and women achieve natural, fuller brows.

Who Is It Suitable For?

  • Men with genetically thin eyebrows or age-related thinning.
  • Women seeking thicker, shapely brows after plucking, aging, or medical-related hair loss.
  • Eyebrow Replacement: For individuals who have lost brows due to alopecia, chemotherapy, over-plucking, or ageing.
  • Eyebrow Revision/Scar Repair: Ideal for enhancing or correcting brows affected by scarring or previous procedures—a more precise restoration than cosmetic tattooing

Step 1: Consultation & Design

We’ll evaluate your facial symmetry, hair characteristics, and personal goals.

Brows are marked on your face, enabling you to preview the shape

Step 2: Donor Hair Harvesting

We use FUE to extract healthy follicles—typically 50–325 per brow—from the scalp’s back or sides. Scalp hair is ideal due to its texture and permanence

For long-haired clients, a small "window shave" may be required; otherwise, only a discreet trim is needed

Step 3: Microsurgical Implantation

Follicles are implanted one by one at precise angles using fine hypodermic needles to mimic natural eyebrow hair direction

The procedure takes around 3–4 hours under local anaesthesia

Step 4: Healing and Shedding stage

Hairs Drop away in the Shedding stage and slowly grow back, transplanted hair maintains its original length, so post-procedure trimming (typically monthly) is needed. Full results take 6+ months.

Recovery & Timeline

  • Days 0–7: Mild swelling, redness, and scabbing in both donor and brow areas. Scabs fall off naturally by day 7-10
  • Days 7–14: Eyebrow hair begins to shed (“shock loss”), and redness subsides
  • 1 Month: Most shedding is done; new hairs start to bud from approx 2 months onwards but this varies
  • 3–4 Months: Noticeable regrowth begins
  • 6 Months: Dense, natural-looking eyebrows. Ongoing trimming is recommended
  • 9–12 Months: Final results visible—permanent and natural

Most patients return to work within 4–7 days, avoiding strenuous activity for about 2–3 weeks

Donor & Recovery Care

  • Where hair comes from: The scalp’s back or sides—resistant to hair loss and ideal in texture
  • Donor healing: Tiny dot wounds or a small rectangular shave heal within 7–14 days, blending into surrounding hair

Care tips:

  • Keep both areas clean and avoid touching or applying makeup for the first week
  • Avoid excessive sun sunbeds, sweating, and swimming for at least 2 weeks
  • Use gentle cleansing; scabs should not be picked
  • Take pain relief and antibiotics if prescribed

Benefits & Suitability

Perfect for:

  • People with naturally sparse brows, over-plucking, scarring, or gender-affirming goals

Benefits:

  • Permanently fuller, natural brows.
  • No visible scars with FUE, minimal discomfort
  • High satisfaction—confidence-boosting and tailored to your face.

Risks & Considerations

Rare complications include infection, bleeding, numbness, or scarring at donor sites—but are minimized with skilled surgeons

Hair regrowth may be unpredictable; touch-up procedures are possible if needed

Cost Estimates

Pricing varies depending on the amount of work needed to be done, from small revisions to full eyebrow replacement. Price will be done on consultation which are complimentary; financing options are available at HQ.
