What Is an Eyebrow Transplant?

An eyebrow transplant moves individual hair follicles from your scalp into the brow area. Dr. Aneel usually harvests them from the back of the head with FUE, the same method used for scalp transplants. He then chooses fine, single-hair grafts and sets each one at a very flat angle, because natural brow hairs lie almost flat against the skin and change direction along the brow.

The grafts keep the character of scalp hair. They grow for life, but they also grow longer than natural brow hair. Most patients trim their new brows every one to three weeks, much like trimming a beard. This small routine is the trade-off for brows that no longer need to be drawn on each morning. Eyebrow grafting is a specialised branch of hair transplant Lahore patients often ask about, and Dr. Aneel draws every brow shape by hand before surgery.

Eyebrow Transplant Candidates

• Over-plucked or waxed brows: follicles damaged by years of plucking, threading or waxing that no longer regrow.
• Scars or injury: a gap caused by a cut, burn or earlier surgery that interrupts the brow line.
• Naturally thin brows: people born with sparse or short brows who want more shape and weight.
• Stable brow loss: the cause of loss is known and no longer active. Patchy loss from alopecia areata or thyroid disease needs a medical check first.
• Healthy donor scalp: enough fine hair at the back of the head to supply a few hundred grafts.

Eyebrow Transplant Options in Lahore

Eyebrow Transplant Procedure

1. Brow assessment: Dr. Aneel looks at your remaining hairs, skin and any scars, and asks about the cause of your brow loss.
2. Shape drawing: the new brow is drawn on your face with a pencil. You check it in the mirror and approve it before anything starts.
3. Numbing: local anaesthetic is given to the donor area and both brows. You stay awake throughout.
4. Graft harvest: a small number of follicles is taken from the back of the scalp and sorted so only fine single hairs are used.
5. Placement: Dr. Aneel makes each tiny site and sets each graft at a flat angle that follows your natural brow direction.
6. Going home: you leave the same day with care instructions. Most brow sessions finish within a few hours.

Eyebrow Transplant FAQs

How much does an eyebrow transplant cost in Lahore?

Our 2026 estimate is PKR 35,000 to PKR 150,000, depending on whether you need a small repair or two full brows. Call 0341-7555512 for your final price after a brow check.

Do transplanted eyebrows need trimming?

Yes. The hairs come from your scalp, so they keep growing like scalp hair. Most patients trim them every one to three weeks with small scissors.

Are the results permanent?

Yes. The grafts come from the back of the scalp, which is resistant to the hormone behind pattern baldness, so they keep growing for life.

Will anyone see a scar on my scalp?

Only a few hundred follicles are taken, spread across the back of the head. The small dots are hidden by your normal hair.

Can I have an eyebrow transplant if I have alopecia areata?

Active alopecia areata can attack new grafts too. Dr. Aneel will first check if your condition is stable, and may suggest medical treatment before surgery.

When will my new brows look full?

New hairs usually appear by month 3 or 4. The brows look clearly fuller by month 6 to 9 and reach their final look at about 10 to 12 months.
