Eyebrow transplant
Eyebrows play an important role in facial expression, and an eyebrow transplant can be the solution for people who suffer from thin eyebrows for various reasons. Whether it is due to over-plucking or genetic factors, an eyebrow transplant can give you fuller, more defined eyebrows that look natural and last permanently.
For many women and men, the shape and fullness of their eyebrows can be an important factor in feeling confident and attractive. With an eyebrow transplant, you can restore or improve the shape of your eyebrows, which can contribute to a more harmonious and balanced facial profile.

Natural growth direction in eyebrow transplantation
Eyebrows consist of three parts with different growth directions. The FUE method places hairs in the same direction as existing hairs – a key factor for a natural result.
Inner part
Growth direction: grows upward or sideways
At the nose root, hairs are placed to follow the face's natural line and give a soft start to the brow.
Eyebrow transplant before and after – what to expect
Results develop gradually over about one year. At consultation we review what is realistic based on your conditions, wishes and brow shape – so you have a clear picture of expected outcome before the procedure.
On our hair transplant before and after page you can see how results develop over time for other transplants. Each case is unique, but the timeline with temporary shedding and later regrowth is similar.

FUE technology is the most common method used in eyebrow transplants because it is gentle and safe for the patient. With this technique, hair follicles are taken from another part of the body, usually the head, and inserted into the eyebrows using small needles. This process is performed under local anesthesia, which makes it practically painless. Learn more about the FUE method.
After an eyebrow transplant, it may take a few days before your eyebrows look natural again. The newly transplanted hair follicles may cause some redness and swelling, but this usually disappears after a few days. It is important to avoid touching your eyebrows during the first week after the transplant and to avoid strenuous exercise or activities that cause you to sweat profusely.
After an eyebrow transplant, you can expect your eyebrows to be fuller and more defined, giving you a natural and beautiful appearance. Since the results are permanent, the treatment gives a lasting result, unlike temporary solutions that need regular topping up.
The result
After a hair transplant, it is common for the transplanted hairs to fall out after about 2-5 weeks. This is a normal process and it takes about 2-3 months before the hair follicles start producing hair again. The final result can be seen after just over a year. The new hairs grow naturally and adapt to your eyebrows. Sometimes the transplanted hairs can become stronger and longer than the existing ones, but it is possible to even them out and shape the eyebrows to the desired length.
How an eyebrow transplant works
Planning & outlines
Draws the desired contours
Procedure 2–4 hours
Local anesthesia, FUE method
After a few months
Hair follicles produce hair
Once the planning for the new eyebrows is complete, we draw the desired contours. The procedure is then performed under local anesthesia and usually takes between 2–4 hours. The transplant area and the smaller donor area are shaved, usually from the back of the head, as the hair structure is similar to that of the eyebrows. The FUE method is used to achieve natural-looking eyebrows by placing the hairs in the same direction of growth as the existing hairs. To minimize scarring and damage to existing hair follicles, minimal incisions are made. It is also important that the hair follicles are placed at the correct depth to achieve a good result.
After a few months, the transplanted hair follicles begin to produce hair. The new hairs retain their characteristics from their original location and will grow in the same way as non-transplanted hairs.
Conditions that can affect the eyebrows
There are various conditions that affect the eyebrows. Madarosis is a condition that causes loss of eyebrow hair and sometimes eyelashes. The eyebrows consist of three parts: the inner part where the hair grows upward or sideways, the middle part above the iris where the hair grows outward toward the temples, and the outer part above the outer corner of the eye. Madarosis only affects growth in the outer areas. hair diseases & alopecia.
The healing process
After an eyebrow transplant, the healing process is usually short and gentle. Normally, you will be ready to return to work after just 10 days. When the anaesthetic starts to wear off, it may be a good idea to take some painkillers. During the first three days after the procedure, you should take it very easy as the new hairs grow in. There may be slight redness in the area, but scabs usually disappear within a week to 10 days. It is important to avoid exercise during the first month after the operation.
The number of hair follicles transplanted varies between 50 and 400 hairs. The results are usually visible after just over a year, and the transplanted hairs grow naturally and blend in with your existing eyebrows. However, the transplanted hairs may become stronger and longer than the existing ones, but this can easily be evened out and shaped to the desired length.

När passar inte en ögonbrynstransplantation lika bra?
Ögonbrynstransplantationen bygger på hårsäckar som hämtas från hårbotten, oftast bakhuvudet. Om donatorområdet redan är tunt eller påverkat av håravfall kan det finnas för lite friskt donatorhår för att uppnå önskad täthet i brynen. Vissa hudtillstånd eller ärrbildning i brynområdet kan också påverka hur väl de transplanterade hårsäckarna tar sig, vilket vi alltid bedömer inför ett ingrepp.
Eftersom de transplanterade hårstråna behåller egenskaperna från hårbotten fortsätter de att växa som hårbottenhår – de slutar alltså inte växa vid brynens naturliga längd på samma sätt som vanligt ögonbrynshår gör. Det innebär att brynen behöver klippas och formas regelbundet för att hålla önskad längd, ungefär som man trimmar en frisyr.
