Eyebrow transplant: everything you need to know about permanent eyebrow reconstruction

KEIT Hair Clinic places particular emphasis on treatment transparency and clinical documentation. Before eyebrow transplantation, patients receive information about the technique used, the planned number of follicular units, the areas requiring reconstruction, potential risks, and the results that can realistically be achieved. Photographs taken before and after the procedure document the initial condition, help assess eyebrow shape and symmetry, and monitor the progression of regrowth, in accordance with medical confidentiality requirements.
The KEIT brand also provides an Official Guarantee Certificate, which defines the facility's responsibilities and the conditions of assistance and coverage applicable to the treatment, as specified in the contractual documentation. The guarantee conditions are communicated to patients before the procedure, distinguishing the clinic's commitments from the biological results of hair regrowth, which may vary according to individual characteristics.

At KEIT Hair Clinic, each patient is treated simultaneously by three professionals specialising in follicular transplantation, who alternate during the procedure with a second team of three professionals. This shift-based organisation allows team members to take breaks during transplantation sessions, reducing physical and mental fatigue and helping maintain attention, concentration, and precision throughout the different stages of treatment.
The transplant is planned by considering the density and quality of the donor area, the characteristics of the existing eyebrow hairs, the extent of the areas requiring reconstruction, and facial proportions. Particular attention is paid to designing the eyebrow shape, achieving symmetry between the two eyebrows, and distributing grafts according to the natural direction and angle of hair growth in each section.
Planning also takes into account the differences between scalp hair and eyebrow hair, which may vary in thickness, structure, and growth cycle. To achieve a natural-looking reconstruction, single-hair follicular units are preferred when available and appropriate, and are distributed according to the desired density and shape. The aim is not simply to implant the highest possible number of grafts, but to recreate proportionate, harmonious eyebrows while preserving the donor area and respecting the patient's individual anatomical characteristics.

Proper management of follicular units, from extraction from the scalp to implantation into the eyebrows, is a fundamental aspect of eyebrow transplantation. At KEIT Hair Clinic, extraction is planned according to follicular density and availability, with the aim of preserving the natural appearance of the donor area and avoiding excessive depletion of follicular resources.
During the procedure, grafts are handled carefully and maintained under appropriate conditions to minimise dehydration and potential damage to follicular tissue. Particular attention is paid to selecting and preparing follicular units for the eyebrows, where implantation precision is essential to reproduce the natural direction of hair growth and prevent irregular growth patterns.
The clinic also follows infection prevention protocols that include preparing and disinfecting treatment areas, using sterile single-use materials, and ensuring controlled handling of surgical instruments. Preserving the donor area, handling grafts correctly, and following sterilisation protocols are essential elements in treatment quality and subsequent hair regrowth.

KEIT Hair Clinic has dedicated clinical areas for follicular transplantation, organised to accommodate the different stages of the procedure, from patient preparation to follicular unit extraction and implantation. Eyebrow transplantation is performed using the Micro FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction) technique, which involves extracting individual follicles from the scalp donor area using micro-punches selected according to the characteristics of the hair and skin. Sapphire blades may also be used to prepare the recipient sites, depending on the technique selected.
The Micro FUE technique avoids the linear scar associated with the FUT technique, leaving small, pinpoint scars in the donor area. When implanting follicles into the eyebrows, particular attention is paid to the angle, depth, and direction of hair growth, which vary between the inner, central, and outer sections of the eyebrow. The organisation of the treatment areas, dedicated equipment, and clinical protocols allows the different stages of treatment to be coordinated, with particular attention to implantation precision, follicle protection, and patient comfort.

Before transplantation, KEIT Hair Clinic carries out an individual assessment of eyebrow shape, density, and hair distribution, any asymmetry, and the condition of the skin in the areas to be treated. The assessment also examines the availability of follicles in the scalp donor area and the possible causes of eyebrow thinning to determine whether the patient is a suitable candidate and establish the possibilities for eyebrow reconstruction.
One of the distinctive features of treatment at KEIT Day Hospital is its preoperative medical preparation. Although the transplant is performed under local anaesthesia, patients undergo a comprehensive check-up and multidisciplinary assessment in accordance with the facility's surgical protocols. These evaluations include blood and urine tests, coagulation tests, an electrocardiogram (ECG), and specialist consultations with an anaesthetist-resuscitation specialist and a cardiologist. When necessary, additional specialists are involved and further diagnostic tests are requested.
These assessments help evaluate the patient's general health, identify potential risk factors, and determine their suitability for the procedure and local anaesthesia. During the consultation, the medical team also establishes the approximate number of grafts required, the eyebrow areas to be treated, and the results that can realistically be achieved, considering follicular availability, hair characteristics, and the desired shape.
At KEIT Hair Clinic, performing eyebrow transplantation under local anaesthesia does not reduce the importance of medical preparation. Every patient undergoes a structured and thorough preoperative assessment before the procedure.

At KEIT Hair Clinic, patient care continues after the eyebrow transplant has been completed. Each patient is supported by a dedicated team consisting of professionals specialising in Micro FUE transplantation, a nurse, a patient assistant, and a clinical coordinator. The follow-up protocol includes appointments at 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after the procedure to assess skin healing in the treated areas, the condition of the donor area, and the progression of transplanted hair regrowth.
During follow-up appointments, the medical team monitors eyebrow recovery, the gradual emergence of new hairs, and the development of eyebrow density and shape. Because follicles extracted from the scalp may retain different growth characteristics from natural eyebrow hairs, patients also receive guidance on regular maintenance, including the possible need to trim the transplanted hairs.
For international patients, monitoring continues remotely through periodic photographs and communication with the medical team. The clinic also provides a 24-hour emergency contact number, available seven days a week, for patients requiring assistance. This follow-up process supports patients throughout the different stages of regrowth, providing personalised guidance and progressively assessing the results for up to 12 months.

Micro FUE eyebrow transplantation is generally performed under local anaesthesia, which helps control pain in the extraction and implantation areas while allowing the patient to remain conscious throughout the procedure. Although general anaesthesia is not normally required, eyebrow transplantation remains a surgical procedure that requires appropriate medical supervision. During treatment, healthcare staff monitor the patient's general condition and comfort and assess whether breaks are needed.
Integration with KEIT Day Hospital provides an additional level of medical and organisational support. The facility has three equipped operating theatres, inpatient wards with 20 beds, equipment for monitoring vital signs, and a postoperative resuscitation room. When specific clinical needs arise, specialists in anaesthesia and intensive care, cardiology, and other medical disciplines can be involved according to the facility's protocols.
Together with the multidisciplinary preoperative assessment, these resources allow eyebrow transplantation to be organised within a structured healthcare system, with particular attention to preventing and managing potential complications.
