How is Eyebrow Transplantation Performed in Turkey?
The procedure is performed in the same way as scalp or beard hair transplantation, except for some steps that are not necessary for eyebrow transplantation.
The steps of eyebrow transplant can be summarized as follows:
Step 1: The hair transplant surgeon designs the final eyebrow shape to suit the eye shape and face.
Step 2: The hair grafts to be transplanted into the eyebrows are extracted from donor areas on the scalp, at a rate of 100 to 200 follicles per eyebrow [*].
*This number may vary from person to person, depending on the extent of hair loss or density in the eyebrow area.
Step 3: The extracted grafts are treated with special solutions to prepare them for transplantation into the eyebrows.
Step 4: Implanting only one hair into each follicle, to ensure its thinness and to avoid leaving any visible scars in the transplanted area.
Once the follicles are implanted, the eyebrow transplantation process in Turkey is complete.
Regarding the recovery period:
The transplanted area heals within one week of the surgery.
In the first few days after the surgery, you may notice some flaking and slight redness. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid rubbing the area or exposing it to strong water flow (such as during showering).
Two important points to note:
- For some patients, the transplanted hair may not perfectly match their natural eyebrow hair due to the different growth angle of eyebrow hair compared to scalp hair.
Therefore, Camilia Clinic recommends undergoing the eyebrow transplant surgery performed by an experienced doctor. - The transplanted hair continues to grow during the first year and does not stop growing like natural eyebrow hair, which requires periodic trimming.
How Long Does an Eyebrow Transplant Take in Turkey?
An eyebrow transplant in Turkey is a relatively quick procedure, usually taking no more than two hours. It is performed under local anesthesia and does not require hospitalization.
Complications of Eyebrow Transplants:
Eyebrow transplant complications are rare, especially when performed by an experienced surgeon. However, some potential complications may include:
- Minor Bruising: Particularly around the eyes, which usually subsides within a few days.
- Swelling and Redness: These are common temporary side effects that may occur around the transplanted area.
- Itching and Discomfort: Often experienced during the recovery.
- Numbness: Temporary numbness around the surgical sites.
- Scarring: Minor scarring may occur at the donor area.
- Hair Shedding: Initial shedding of transplanted hair is possible before new hair growth begins.
- Cysts: Small cysts that form in the transplanted area result from the trapping of hair follicles.
- Infection: It may occur at the donor or transplant site if proper sterilization procedures are not followed.
- Graft Failure: Some transplanted hairs may not take, resulting in incomplete results.
- Unnatural Appearance: If the follicles are not planted correctly, the eyebrows look uneven or unnatural.
Accordingly, Camilia Clinic advises the patient not to rub or scratch the transplanted eyebrow, as this helps avoid the transplanted hair grafts from falling out.
When Do the Results of an Eyebrow Transplant Become Visible?
The full growth of transplanted eyebrows takes approximately three to six months. After this period, the results of the procedure can be assessed.
As mentioned earlier in our note on eyebrow transplantation, the transplanted eyebrow grows faster than the natural eyebrow during the first year after the procedure, then begins to adapt to the natural eyebrow hair growth rate.
Cost of Eyebrow Transplant in Turkey 2026:
The cost of an eyebrow transplant in Turkey generally ranges from $1,500 to $1,700 USD for 2025 and 2026.

Best Eyebrow Transplant Techniques in Turkey (Video):
Modern FUE techniques, such as Percutan FUE and Sapphire FUE, are used in Turkey and are suitable for eyebrow transplants.
Additionally, there’s the DHI (Direct Hair Implantation) technique that uses Choi pens.
The DHI technique is considered the ideal option, as demonstrated in the following video inside one of Camilia Clinic’s branches in Istanbul.
Reasons for Eyebrow Transplantation:
Eyebrow (and eyelash) transplantation is performed in the following cases:
- Slow eyebrow growth.
- Complete or partial loss of eyebrows due to inflammatory skin diseases, such as lichen planus, alopecia areata, cutaneous lupus erythematosus, leprosy, and others.
However, it’s important to note that eyebrow transplantation is only performed after the underlying medical condition has been treated. - Permanent eyebrow hair loss due to burns or injuries.
- Psychogenic hair loss (Psychogenic alopecia): This condition occurs when a person experiences psychological stress or tension, leading to hair loss.
In this case as well, transplantation is only permissible after psychological treatment and stabilization of the condition. - Genetic factors that lead to weak hair follicles.
- Thyroid gland dysfunction.
- Hormonal imbalance.
- Chemotherapy for cancer.
- Cosmetic Reasons, Especially for Women: It’s well known that eyebrows play a fundamental role in a woman’s beauty, highlighting the eyes and giving her face an attractive appearance.
Thick eyebrows have become a popular trend in facial beauty in recent years, prompting women to find ways to achieve them through eyebrow makeup, tattoos, or even cosmetic procedures such as Botox injections.
However, these methods have a limited lifespan and require periodic repetition. Furthermore, excessive and continuous use of eyebrow products can lead to eyebrow loss.
Consequently, eyebrow transplantation is one of the latest cosmetic trends in Turkey. It is designed specifically to achieve a fuller look and a shape that complements the eyes.
Eyelash Transplantation in Turkey:
Eyelash transplantation in Turkey is a popular and growing cosmetic procedure. It’s a good option for those willing to treat eyelash loss caused by medical conditions or accidents.
Everyone understands the importance of eyes and eyelash density in enhancing facial beauty. In the past, achieving perfect eyes with thick eyelashes was not easy. Therefore, eyelash transplantation emerged as a guaranteed and permanent solution.
How Are Natural Eyelash Transplants Performed in Turkey?
Eyelash transplants are a very complex procedure, and only a small number of doctors worldwide perform them.
The stages of the procedure are as follows:
Stage 1: The eyelids are examined to verify the presence of 1 to 2mm diameter incisions to accommodate the hair follicles to be transplanted.
Stage 2: The medical team administers a local anesthetic into a 1-square-centimeter area of the donor area at the back of the head, from which they extract a sufficient number of eyelashes.
Stage 3: The extracted follicles are sorted to select the most suitable ones for transplantation.
Stage 4: The eyelids are numbed, and the hair follicles are implanted using a special needle, which differs in shape from the tools used in other hair transplant procedures.
The doctor thickens the eyelashes by implanting between 30 and 65 eyelashes, depending on each patient’s needs.
How Long Does an Eyelash Transplant Take?
The procedure takes 3 to 4 hours and is considered very precise by the doctor.
Regarding follow-up after an eyelash transplant:
The patient must continue to communicate with the doctor or hair transplant clinic/hospital for up to a year until the final results appear.
* The final results of the eyelash transplant procedure appear after 6 months to a year.
Cost of Natural Eyelash Transplants in Turkey:
The cost of eyelash transplants in Turkey is approximately $1,600 USD, but it can sometimes reach $2,000 USD depending on the case and its complexity, as mentioned previously.
