Problem / Situation

Sparse, patchy, or worn-out brows? You’re not alone.

Eyebrows are more than just hair — they frame your eyes, express emotion, and define your appearance. When brows thin due to over-plucking, trauma, illness, or age, it can make you look older, tired, or less like “you”.

If you’ve tried make-up, microblading, or just hiding the gaps — and still feel self-conscious — eyebrow transplant surgery could be the natural, lasting solution you’re seeking.

Minimal scarring: small, dot-like marks rather than one linear scar.

What is an eyebrow transplant

Detail-led FUE, scaled down to the brow

An eyebrow transplant uses single-hair FUE grafts, taken from your donor area and placed by hand at the very fine angles brows naturally grow at. Suitable for over-plucked, sparse, or scarred brows, and to reshape a brow that never grew in fully.

Because eyebrow transplants use hair follicles taken from the scalp, the transplanted hairs continue to grow in the same way as normal head hair. This means you’ll need to trim and groom your eyebrows regularly, typically every 2–4 weeks, to maintain the desired shape and length. This is normal, expected, and forms part of the long-term care of transplanted eyebrows. We provide clear guidance on trimming and shaping as part of our aftercare support.

Your eyebrow procedure, step by step

A surgeon-led, step-by-step path. No salespeople, no fluff.

Eyebrow consultation and planning
01

Consultation & planning

We examine your existing eyebrows, donor hair quality, and facial structure. We agree a realistic shape and density, explain what is achievable, and show you expected results.

Procedure day

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic. Individual follicles are carefully extracted and implanted one by one, with close attention to angle, direction, and placement.

Recovery and aftercare
03

Recovery & aftercare

Expect mild redness or swelling for a few days. It’s normal for many of the transplanted hairs to shed in the first 1–2 weeks. New growth starts over the following months, with final results typically seen within 9–12 months.

Brow growth and maintenance
04

Maintenance

Because donor hair is taken from the scalp, the transplanted eyebrow hairs will keep growing. To keep your brows looking neat, you’ll need regular trimming and occasional shaping, usually every 2–4 weeks.

What Sassy Girl said

After years of tattoos, microblading, and trying to hide the gaps — here’s the reality of a transplant.

The whole experience so far has been fantastic

I had an eyebrow transplant 2 weeks ago with Surgery Group and the whole experience so far has been fantastic. After years of trying all sorts from tattoos to microblading, I decided to have a transplant. I did lots of research and Dr Ish and the Surgery Group was the one that I really wanted to go with. From the start speaking to Matthew who answered all my questions and organised everything. Dr Ish and the girls were fantastic carrying out the procedure and the aftercare from Jake has been amazing. I can’t wait to see my eyebrows when they fully come through.

Frequently asked questions

The questions we hear most often before a brow transplant. If you don’t see yours here, ask us directly when you book.

Does the procedure hurt?
Most people describe it as uncomfortable rather than painful. We use local anaesthetic, so the main sensation is the injections at the start. After that, you’ll feel pressure and movement, not sharp pain. Expect mild tenderness for a few days.
How long before I see full results?
Eyebrow transplants take time. 0–2 weeks: scabs and redness settle. 2–8 weeks: most transplanted hairs shed (normal). 3–4 months: new growth starts. 6–9 months: brows look much more established. 9–12 months: final shape and density.
What about donor area scarring?
Eyebrow transplants usually use FUE, which leaves tiny dot-like marks rather than a single linear scar. In most people it’s hard to notice once healed, even with short hair. Scarring risk exists with any procedure, but FUE is the least visible option.
Will transplanted hair grow like eyebrow hair?
Not exactly. The hairs are usually taken from the scalp, so they keep some scalp-hair behaviour. That means they can grow longer than natural eyebrow hair. The good news: once trained and trimmed, they look natural. The honest bit: you’ll need occasional maintenance.
How do I maintain the brows long term?
You’ll likely need regular trimming (often every 1–3 weeks depending on growth), occasional shaping, and training the direction early on (brushing plus a light product if needed). This is normal and expected. We’ll show you how to do it.
How many grafts do I need?
It depends on what you’re fixing. Small patch or scar area: fewer grafts. Thin brows or reshape: moderate grafts. Full restoration: more grafts. We’ll quote after we’ve seen your brows and agreed the shape. There’s no “one size fits all” number that isn’t nonsense.
Will the results look natural?
They can look extremely natural, but eyebrow work is technical. The key is angle and direction of placement. That’s what makes it look like brows rather than “hair stuck on skin”. Realistic expectations matter too: a transplant restores hair, it doesn’t create a perfect Instagram stencil.
Is an eyebrow transplant permanent?
Yes. Transplanted follicles are intended to be permanent. But your natural brow hairs can still change with age, skin conditions, hormones, or over-plucking. The transplant doesn’t stop normal ageing, it restores what’s missing.
Can I still have microblading?
Yes, and plenty of people do both. Some use microblading before surgery, some after, some not at all. If you’ve had microblading, it doesn’t automatically rule you out, but we’ll want to see the area and discuss the plan.
What are the risks?
Common short-term issues: redness, swelling, scabbing, itching during healing, and temporary unevenness while hairs shed and regrow. Less common: infection, poor growth, visible scarring (rare with FUE), some hairs growing in the “wrong” direction (usually manageable). We’ll cover aftercare properly because that’s what reduces problems.
When can I get back to normal life?
Most people are back to normal activity within a few days. You’ll need to avoid heavy sweating, swimming, and rubbing the area early on. The brows will look obvious at first because of scabbing and redness. That phase passes.
