Thanks to the long hair strands, the final form of the eyebrow can be previewed immediately after the procedure and the physician can fine-tune it.
Eyebrow Architecture
Dr. Handan Yavuz is a physician who has a deep knowledge of facial and eyebrow anatomy thanks to her anatomy expertise. In recent years, she has focused her work especially on facial aesthetics, eyebrow anatomy and golden ratio eyebrow design.
In the field of eyebrow transplantation in Istanbul, he is proficient in all eyebrow transplantation techniques, including Classic FUE, FUT, and the advanced Long Hair FUE method.
But it is not only technical knowledge that makes Dr. Handan Yavuz's approach different.
It approaches eyebrow transplantation not as a practice but as a design and architectural process.
Long Hair FUE
While the donor area is shaved in standard methods, in the Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant technique, hair from the donor area is harvested while preserving its existing length (2–5 cm). This method requires greater surgical experience and technical precision compared to the standard FUE technique.
Thanks to the long hair strands, the final form of the eyebrow can be previewed immediately after the procedure and the physician can fine-tune it.
Since the surgeon can see the natural curve and direction of the hair shaft during the procedure, the natural architecture of the eyebrow is created perfectly.
The different orientations of the eyebrows at the beginning, middle and tail (up, horizontal, outward/downward) are more accurately imitated.
Since there is no shaving in the donor area, there is no significant visual change and you can return to daily social life much more easily.
Long hairs partially hide the micro crusting and slight redness that may occur after the operation.
Who Is It For?
An eyebrow transplant is a microsurgical procedure in which permanent thinning and gaps in the eyebrows are restored using your own hair follicles. At our clinic in Nişantaşı, it is most often performed in the following cases:
Not every candidate may be suitable for every method. If there is an active autoimmune process or if the hair density in the donor area is insufficient, the treatment plan will be adjusted. For this reason, a decision cannot be made without a physical examination and facial analysis.
Comparison
The most important factors determining the outcome of an eyebrow transplant are how the grafts are harvested and at what angle they are implanted. The practical differences between the three techniques are as follows:
| Comparison | Recommended Long FUE | Classic FUE | FUT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shaving the donor site | It's not necessary | It is necessary | It is necessary |
| View the result | During the transaction | After stretching | After stretching |
| Donor mark | The dot is hidden among the hairs | Period | Linear stitch mark |
| Hair length | Long (1–2 cm) | Short | Short |
| Return to Social Life | 1 day | A few days | Longer |
| Its current status | Preferred | In certain cases | Largely abandoned |
At our clinic, the no-shave Long FUE method is preferred, because working with long hair allows the eyebrow design to be seen during the procedure and the angle to be corrected instantly.
As a physician certified by the Ministry of Health, Dr. Handan Yavuz combines a scientific approach with an aesthetic sensibility, aiming to create natural eyebrows that harmonise with each patient's face.
Step by Step
The structure of the eyebrows, facial proportions, and the capacity of the donor area are examined.
The direction and density of the hair are determined based on the golden ratio; the required number of grafts is established.
Only the eyebrow and nape areas are numbed; general anesthesia is not used.
Fine hair follicles with the genetic trait that prevents hair loss are removed one by one from the back of the head.
Each graft is placed individually, in accordance with the hair's natural growth angle.
Crusting and mild redness are expected symptoms; the care protocol is followed.
Most of the transplanted hair falls out temporarily. Since the roots remain in the skin, the hair begins to grow back starting in the third month.
It takes 6–12 months for the eyebrows to settle completely.
Pricing
There is no single fixed price for eyebrow transplants; the cost is calculated on a case-by-case basis. The main factors that determine the price are:
We recommend that you approach fixed-price offers you come across online with caution. It would be misleading to provide a specific figure without examining the patient first.
Our Clinic
Procedures are performed at Özel MEDLOOK Polikliniği by the medical team led by Dr. Handan Yavuz. Thanks to its location in Nişantaşı, the clinic is easy to reach from across the city, and for patients coming from abroad, the process can be planned in a single visit.
Yes. Since the hair follicles used are harvested from the back of the head, they carry the genetic trait that prevents hair loss and retain this trait in the area where they are transplanted.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. After the anesthesia takes effect, sensation of pain in the eyebrow and nape areas is blocked; the patient remains awake and comfortable throughout the procedure.
Typically, 200–400 grafts are used for a pair of eyebrows. The exact number is determined during the consultation based on the current eyebrow density, the size of the area to be filled in, and the desired design.
Depending on the number of grafts required and the technique chosen, the procedure is usually completed in a single session. The total time spent at the clinic is planned to include design and preparation.
Since the donor area is not incised in the Shave-Free Long FUE method, there is no visible change; our patients typically return to their daily lives the next day.
A natural look depends on the selection of single, fine grafts and the correct determination of the hair’s growth angle. In the eyebrow area, the result looks natural when the hairs are angled downward and outward.
