Eyebrow Hair Transplants in Turkey

An eyebrow hair transplant in Istanbul, Turkey, is the definitive, permanent solution when the lack of density, thin hair, or empty spots appear in the eyebrows, giving them an unnatural outlook. (Sometimes there can even be a total absence of eyebrows; something caused by genetics or other conditions.)

We all know that natural and harmonic features of a face are the secret of human beauty; that is why every person looks for a beautiful and attractive face, free of any defects. Eyebrows are considered as one of the most obvious signs of beauty in the human face, especially for women.

This is why any problem in the eyebrows pushes the person to look for a quick and lasting solution to restore a more normal appearance and return with confidence to a life unaffected by this kind of problem. If you are looking for a hair transplant in Turkey, at Clinicana we give you the chance of finding a permanent solution for your eyebrow problems at the lowest price.

Characteristics of eyebrow hair

There are several characteristics of eyebrows to be considered when thinking of transplants. The first is that the hair comes out of the pores at an angle so sharp that it generally grows flat along the surface of the skin. This is in contrast to scalp hair, where the angle between the hair and scalp is generally 45 degrees.

The second one is that the hair of the eyebrows grows as individual strings, so that each bulb contains only one hair, contrary to the head hair, where the bulbs may contain from 2-4 hairs each.

The third is that the eyebrow hair has a very short growth cycle. This means that the eyebrow hair grows only in about four months before it enters rest and falls. In contrast, scalp hair has a life cycle of 3-7 years, so scalp hair can grow for much longer.

Causes of eyebrow hair loss that might require a transplant operation in Turkey

• The most common cause of eyebrow hair loss in women is over-extraction, which over time causes permanent damage to hair follicles, and sometimes scarring and a complete loss of hair growth.
• One of the reasons for the loss of hair in the eyebrows is also the drawing of the eyebrows with a pen; some women paint over their eyebrows with a pen to give them an appearance of greater intensity, but not removing the colour can cause the loss of the eyebrow hair.
• Natural aging is also another reason. People aged 50 or 60 start to get thinner hair, even in the eyebrow area.

While some patients want to have an eyebrow transplant to enhance their facial features, others seek eyebrow restoration for bald brown spots caused by burns and hair loss, usually due to medical treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy.

For others, the loss of eyebrow hair may have a genetic cause and their eyebrows are naturally very thin, or there may be empty spots on the eyebrows or even a complete absence of eyebrows. The loss of eyebrow hair may be associated with alopecia and other systemic diseases such as thyroid disorders.

All these disorders and problems result in a partial or total loss of eyebrow hair, which lead people to look for a permanent solution: something that now is possible with an eyebrow transplant in Istanbul, Turkey.

Here are some of the more often asked questions regarding the eyebrow hair transplant, and their answers and explanations. But, If you have any other inquiry, please do not hesitate to ask us directly.

What is the number of follicles needed for eyebrow transplantation?

There isn’t a fixed number; it varies depending on the situation and the number needed to, for example, cover a scar or absence, is different from the number needed to restore thickness. In general, eyebrow implants require 50 to 400 bulbs per eyebrow.

How long will the eyebrow transplant operation take?

It will take about 3-4 hours depending on the patient’s situation, the number of bulbs and the total area to be covered.

What are the steps and the stages for an eyebrow transplant? 

At our Clinicana center in Istanbul we use an eyebrow hair transplant method that is characterized by the simplicity of the procedure.

1. The new eyebrow is first designed taking into account both the desire of the patient and the assessment of medical staff at Clinicana, which will seek the best choice so that it be aesthetically pleasing on your faceand look natural.
2. Using the FUE technique, the follicles are then taken from the donor area, which is on the back or on the side of the head. It is preferable to take the grafts from the area behind your ear, where the hair thinness is similar to the characteristics of the eyebrow hair.
3. Once single bulbs that are similar to those of the eyebrows are chosen, we open the channels in the area of the eyebrow, which will be implanted making sure they have a sharp angle like the natural growth pattern of eyebrow hair.
4. The follicles then will be transplanted into the receiving areas. Transplanting begins from those closest to the nose, and then up to the upper part of the eyebrow. Upon completion, we will check that the eyebrow transplantation operation has achieved the required coverage and density.

What are the side effects of eyebrow transplantation?

The process of eyebrow transplantation is relatively simple, so the side effects are limited to some small crusts surrounding the planted hairs and some swelling and redness that can appear in the 5 days following the operation; in fact the redness will be reduced and turned into a pink colour after 3 days, and the swelling start to go down.

What will happen to the transplanted hair in the period after the eyebrow implant?

The transplanted hair will fall after 3 or 4 weeks, but don´t worry: this is a normal part of the hair cycle, and then it will grow again in the fourth month after planting. During the next 6 months, the density of the eyebrows will gradually increase.

When can I return to work and normal life after an eyebrow hair transplant in Turkey?

The recommended recovery period after the eyebrow transplantation usually ranges from 5 to 7 days. After 5 days, you can practice your normal life without showing any symptoms or problems that hinder your work.

What is the ideal way to take care of the eyebrows after the healing is reduced and the final results emerge?

When the new hair growth is complete, transplanted hair should never be plucked because this method slows the growth process over time and can give negative results. The most important thing is to cut the hair follicle, which grows evenly along with the rest of the eyebrow hair. Since grafts come from the scalp, they usually need to be trimmed every two weeks.

What is the Islamic ruling on eyebrow hair transplant?

Some people wonder about any rulings affecting eyebrow transplants and whether there is any legitimate excuse for it in Islam.
In fact, the process of eyebrow hair transplants, and also the scalp hair transplants and others, fall under the category of ‘the repair of defects of birth or disease’, as it has been stated by the International Islamic Fiqh Academy:

“It is permissible to carry out the necessary plastic surgery, which is intended to repair congenital or emergent defects (acquired) from the effects of burns, accidents, diseases and others, including hair transplantation in case of a fall, especially for women”
