What is an eyebrow transplant?
An eyebrow transplant moves individual hairs from the back of your head to your eyebrows to make them fuller or to rebuild them where hair no longer grows. People who come to us for an eyebrow transplant in Turkey usually have brows that were over-plucked years ago, have always been sparse, or have gaps from a scar or illness.
Each hair is placed one by one at a very flat angle and in the direction eyebrow hair naturally grows, so the result looks like a real brow rather than a drawn-on one. The shape is designed with you before anything is done.
Because the transplanted hairs come from your scalp, they keep growing like scalp hair. They need trimming every few weeks, which also means you can shape them exactly as you like.
It won’t
- Work without healthy hair at the back of the head
- Stop the need to trim the new hairs
- Show the final result in weeks
- Treat eyebrow loss from an active illness
- Make the brows look drawn on, if done well

Is an eyebrow transplant in Turkey right for you?
Most patients are between 20 and 60. What matters is healthy donor hair and a stable cause of the eyebrow loss.
An eyebrow transplant usually suits you if
- Your brows are thin, sparse or patchy
- You over-plucked your brows and they never grew back
- You have a gap from a scar or injury
- You have healthy hair at the back of your head
- You are happy to trim the new hairs regularly
Better to wait or get checked first if
- Your eyebrows are falling out now, or the cause is unclear
- You have an autoimmune hair condition such as alopecia areata
- You have a skin condition affecting the brows
- You had permanent make-up very recently
- You expect results within a few weeks
Your medical team in Istanbul
Your brow shape is designed and checked by a doctor, and the procedure is carried out by an experienced medical team. You know who is responsible for your care before you book.
The MAYCLINIK Standard
Four commitments that cover your care from the first video call to long after you fly home.
MAYContour
Before surgery
Surgeons are not interchangeable. Each of ours performs certain operations far more often than others, so you are matched to the one whose routine work is your operation. You meet on video before you travel, and the plan is agreed there, not on arrival.
MAYContourMAYCare+
In Istanbul
From the moment you land to the moment you fly home, one team is responsible for you: airport transfers, your hotel stay, hospital admission, a doctor and nurse who visit you at the hotel, and a check on how you are every day, in your own language.
MAYCare+MAYCheck
Back home
The hardest part of recovery happens after you get home. For twelve months your aftercare nurse stays with you, reviewing how you are healing, telling you what is normal and what is not, and answering questions through our London and Stuttgart offices.
MAYCheckMAYCover
If anything changes
Healing is not always a straight line, and a final result can take up to a year to settle. MAYCover is how we handle it, with your surgeon, if something does need revisiting. Ask your coordinator what it covers, before you book, rather than after.

A typical plan for an eyebrow transplant. Your coordinator adjusts it to your flights.

Arrival & consultation
VIP transfer to your hotel, then a face-to-face consultation, brow design and blood tests.
Day 2
Procedure
Hairs are harvested and implanted under local anaesthesia. You rest at your hotel in the evening.

Eyebrow transplant results, month by month
Brows heal quickly, but the new hairs grow on the same timeline as any hair transplant.
Days 1–7
Healing
Tiny crusts form around each hair and fall off within about a week. Slight swelling around the eyes is normal.
Weeks 2–4
Shedding
Most transplanted hairs shed. This is normal: the follicles stay in place.
Months 3–4
New growth
New hairs start to appear, fine at first.
Month 6
Visible brows
The brows look clearly fuller. You start trimming the new hairs.
Months 9–12
Final result
Full density and natural texture.
What helps
- Don’t touch, rub or pick the brows for the first week
- Clean them gently as shown at the clinic
- No make-up on the brows for 10–14 days
- Avoid sun, saunas and swimming for 1–2 weeks
Eyebrow transplant risks, and how we reduce them
An eyebrow transplant is a safe, small procedure. These are the issues your doctor will discuss with you.
Unnatural direction
Hairs placed at the wrong angle stick out. Flat, directional placement is the key skill.
Uneven growth
Some grafts may grow more slowly or not at all. A small top-up is sometimes needed after 12 months.
Swelling
Mild swelling around the eyes in the first days is common and settles quickly.
Shock loss
Transplanted hairs shed in the first weeks. They grow back from 3–4 months.
Infection
Uncommon. Keeping the area clean as instructed prevents most problems.
Eyebrow transplant in Turkey: frequently asked questions
About 3 days: consultation and brow design, the procedure and a check-up before you fly.
Yes. The transplanted hairs come from the scalp, which is resistant to hair loss, and keep growing.
Yes. They grow like scalp hair, so you trim them every few weeks. Many patients like this because they can shape their brows exactly.
Usually a few hundred, depending on whether you want to thicken your brows or rebuild them. Your doctor calculates it from your photos.
Yes, when each hair is placed at a flat angle and in the right direction, with softer density at the start and tail. That is what the brow design is for.
Microblading draws hair strokes in the skin and fades within 1–2 years. A transplant gives real, permanent hair with depth. Some people use microblading while the transplanted hairs grow.
New hairs grow from 3–4 months, the brows look clearly fuller at 6 months and the final result is at 9–12 months.
Only the local anaesthetic injections are uncomfortable. The brows and donor area may feel tender for a day or two.
Make-up on the brows after 10–14 days. The rest of your face after a couple of days, avoiding the brows.
It can be, if your provider is licensed by the Turkish Ministry of Health, a doctor is responsible for your procedure and designs your brows, and it is done in a licensed medical facility. MAYCLINIK holds licence AK-0086.
