An eyebrow is a small operation with almost no margin for error. Every graft is a single follicle, laid almost flat, and the direction reverses across the brow. That is why 300 grafts take as long as a far larger scalp session.
Eyebrow grafts come from the back of the scalp, and the exact strip matters. We take from the nape and just above it, where hair is finest and grows in a flatter, softer pattern than crown hair.Crown hair produces a bristly brow, and it cannot be undone by trimming.
Every graft is a single follicle, trimmed under magnification. A two-hair unit inside a brow shows two shafts emerging from one point, and that detail is the classic signature of a poorly done eyebrow transplant.
The design follows three landmarks: the inner edge above the nasal ala, the peak roughly two thirds along and above the outer edge of the iris, and the tail on a line drawn from the nostril past the outer corner of the eye.
We draw it with yousitting upright, awake and looking straight ahead, then recheck it with your normal expression. Brows designed on a reclined patient consistently end up sitting too high once you stand.
Eyebrow hair lies almost flat, at ten to fifteen degrees to the skin, and its direction reverses across the brow: the head sweeps upward, the body runs horizontally outward, the tail angles slightly down.
Each graft is placed to that map individually, one at a time. This is why a case of only 200 to 400 grafts takes as long as a far larger scalp session, and why the work is priced by the hour of concentration rather than by the graft.
Most patients need between 2,500 and 4,500 grafts. A receding hairline usually takes 2,000-3,000; hairline plus crown 3,500-4,500. The exact number depends on your donor density and the area to be covered. Send two photos and our specialists give you a graft plan free of charge.
Sapphire FUE opens micro-channels with sapphire blades, then places grafts. It covers large areas densely in one session and is the standard choice for most male cases. DHI Choi implants each follicle directly with a pen, giving maximum control of angle and depth; it suits hairline detail, women’s cases and unshaven treatment.
Yes, when it is done in a licensed hospital by a specialist team. Swedish Clinic holds Temos international accreditation and a Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate from the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Health. Transplanted follicles come from the permanent donor zone, so they keep growing for life. We back this with a lifetime growth guarantee.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. You are awake, comfortable and can watch a film or talk with the team. Only the first injections are felt. Most patients describe mild tightness for two or three days afterwards, managed with simple painkillers.
Transplanted hairs shed in weeks 2-6. This is normal. New growth starts around month 3, becomes visible at months 6-8, and the final density arrives at 12-15 months. Every before/after photo on this page was taken 9-15 months after the operation.
Plan 3 days: arrival and analysis on day one, the operation on day two, the first wash and aftercare briefing on day three. The operation itself is outpatient, no hospital stay, and you can fly home the same evening on day three.
Lower running costs, favourable exchange rates and very high volume, not lower quality. Our surgeons perform hair transplants daily, use the same sapphire blades and Choi implanters as European clinics, and work under international accreditation.
Yes. VIP airport transfers, a translator in your language and help with hotel booking are included, so you can focus on the treatment, and enjoy Istanbul between appointments.
Beginning, middle and end of one twelve-month course. The middle frame is the one that is normally left out.
The full twelve-frame sequence, including the weeks he looked worse than before he started, is on the hair page.
Your country code fills itself in. A surgeon reads them and replies with what is realistic, including when the answer is no.
