Step by Step
Step-by-Step FUE Eyebrow Transplant Process
Every step of the application is meticulously planned to preserve the naturalness of your expression.
-
01
Eyebrow Analysis and Planning
In the first stage, the facial anatomy, current eyebrow structure, asymmetry, the location of the gaps and the patient's expectations are assessed. Design is critical in a successful eyebrow transplant, because eyebrow hairs do not grow in a single direction but at different angles in different areas. That is why the planning stage is decisive not only for density but also for eyebrow architecture.

Donor Area Selection

03
Harvesting the Grafts One by One
In FUE, follicular units are extracted one by one with a micro-punch. Single-hair follicular units are mostly preferred for eyebrow transplantation, as multi-hair grafts can create a coarser look in the eyebrow area. Using single-hair grafts and precise placement are among the basic principles of a natural look.

In particular, the different directions in the head, body and tail of the eyebrow must be carefully imitated.
