Every graft is placed individually at a near-flat angle following the natural directional flow, which changes three times across one brow. This page covers the eyebrow transplant appointment itself — what is prepared beforehand, what happens in the chair, and what the first hours afterwards feel like. Plan for 1 day, 3-4 hours and 2-3 days.
A full session runs 6-8 hours including a lunch break, split into extraction and implantation phases. Larger graft counts take longer rather than being rushed. Local anaesthetic is injected across the donor and recipient zones, often with a vibration or pressure device to blunt the first injections; you are awake, watching films or on your phone for most of the day. General anaesthetic is neither used nor needed. Every graft is placed individually at a near-flat angle following the natural directional flow, which changes three times across one brow.
Your scan or photographs are reviewed in person against the remote plan. Every graft is placed individually at a near-flat angle following the natural directional flow, which changes three times across one brow.
Grafts are extracted one follicular unit at a time with punches of 0.7-0.9 mm; punch size and extraction pattern determine whether the donor thins visibly.
Units are sorted by hair count under magnification and held in a chilled holding solution — time out of the body is what governs graft survival.
Incisions are made at the natural exit angle and density, then grafts are placed singly at the hairline and in multi-hair units behind it.

You leave with written aftercare and the follow-up schedule fixed — for this option that means 2-3 days, with 1 day, 3-4 hours in total.

Turkish law requires the incisions and implantation to be performed by a doctor; technicians assist with extraction under supervision. Ask for the doctor's name and how many cases they personally run per day — a surgeon on more than two cases a day is not doing your case personally.
Your scalp feels tight, the donor area stings, and the recipient zone is dotted with pinpoint scabs. Facial and forehead swelling appears on day two or three, not immediately. You sleep semi-upright with a travel pillow.
Cost and alternatives for Eyebrow Transplant.
Compare vs alternatives → See full cost breakdown →Yes, roughly every two to three weeks, because scalp hair keeps growing beyond eyebrow length.
Usually 150-350 per side depending on how much shape needs rebuilding.
The number should come from a densitometer reading of your donor, not from a photo estimate. Over-harvesting a donor cannot be undone.
Incisions and hairline design are the doctor's work. Ask what the technicians do and how many cases run in parallel that day.
Smaller punches and a hypothermic holding solution both correlate with better yield and a less visible donor.
1 day, 3-4 hours — and 2-3 days. Any quote that compresses that materially is worth a second read, because laboratory and healing time set the schedule, not the clinic diary.
Microblading is temporary and non-surgical; transplantation is permanent but needs upkeep.
Chronic plucking permanently damages follicles.
Grafting through scar tissue is a common indication.
Daily pencil use is the practical trigger for most patients.

| Sessions | 1 day, 3-4 hours |

| Time in Turkey | 2-3 days |
| Recovery | Crusting for a week; the transplanted hairs shed then regrow |
| Expected lifespan | Permanent, with regular trimming needed |
