Is there an age requirement for hair transplants?

There is technically no age requirement for surgery. Most men and women who seek hair restoration surgery are experiencing androgenic alopecia, the genetic and hereditary form of progressive hair loss. Also known as male pattern baldness, this issue affects males in higher numbers and at younger ages. So, if you start to notice thinning and receding hairlines at age 20, does that mean you should rush to have a hair transplant? Not necessarily.

Am I a Candidate For a Hair Transplant?

The ideal candidate for a hair transplant is someone with hair loss or thinning that is stable and has sufficient donor hair available for transplantation. A consultation with a hair transplant specialist such as our Nova Medical team can help determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure.

Is it True that FUE Only Transfers a low Number of Grafts in one Session?

Images of hair plug results from decades past may trouble you, but rest assured that today’s advanced Follicular Unit Excision techniques deliver natural, nearly scarless results. The strip transplant method required a long incision at the back of the head when removing follicle grafts. This approach is still in use today. However, advanced FUE methods dominate the industry because they don’t create the visible, extensive scars of traditional methods.

What Is an Eyebrow Transplant?

An eyebrow transplant is a cosmetic procedure that restores fullness and definition to thin, sparse, or missing eyebrows by transplanting real hair follicles from your scalp into the brow area. Unlike microblading or cosmetic tattooing, which deposits pigment into the skin and fades over time, an eyebrow transplant produces actual growing hair that behaves naturally and lasts a lifetime.

At the Toronto Cosmetic Surgery Institute, we use Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) to harvest individual follicles from the donor area at the back of your scalp. These follicles are then meticulously implanted one by one into your brow area at the precise angle, depth, and direction needed to replicate the natural growth pattern of eyebrow hair. The result is full, symmetrical brows that look and feel real, because they are.

Eyebrows are one of the most defining features of the face. They frame the eyes, convey expression, and play a critical role in facial symmetry. When eyebrow hair is lost or thinning, whether from over-plucking, genetics, ageing, medical conditions like alopecia, or scarring from burns or surgery, it can have a significant impact on confidence and self-image. An eyebrow transplant is the only permanent solution that restores real hair to the brow area.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

An eyebrow transplant is suitable for most men and women who want to restore, enhance, or completely rebuild their eyebrows. You may be a candidate if:

- Years of over-plucking, waxing, or threading have caused permanent eyebrow thinning
- Genetics have given you naturally sparse or thin brows that don't respond to serums
- You've experienced eyebrow hair loss from alopecia areata or other medical conditions
- Chemotherapy or radiation therapy has caused eyebrow loss
- Scarring from burns, surgery, or trauma has damaged the brow area
- Age-related thinning has reduced your eyebrow density
- You want to reshape or redefine your brow arch permanently
- Microblading or tattooing hasn't given you the natural result you were looking for

The key requirement is having adequate donor hair on the scalp. During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your donor area, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the number of grafts needed for the result you want.

How an Eyebrow Transplant Works

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia as an outpatient surgery. You're awake and comfortable the entire time. An eyebrow transplant typically takes between 2 and 5 hours depending on whether one or both brows are being treated and the number of grafts involved.

Consultation & Brow Design

Your surgeon maps out the ideal brow shape based on your facial structure, bone anatomy, and personal preferences. The design is drawn directly onto your brow area so you can see and approve it before any work begins. This step is fully collaborative, and your input shapes the final result.

Donor Follicle Harvesting

Using FUE, individual follicles are extracted from the back of your scalp, an area where hair is genetically programmed to be permanent. The extraction is selective and minimally invasive, leaving no visible scarring at the donor site.

Follicle Selection & Preparation

For eyebrow transplants, single-hair follicular units are selected. Multi-hair grafts would look unnatural in the brow area. The harvested follicles are sorted, cleaned, and prepared under magnification to ensure only the best grafts are used.

Precision Implantation

Each follicle is implanted individually into tiny recipient sites in the brow area. The surgeon controls the angle, depth, and direction of every single graft. Eyebrow hair grows at an extremely flat angle to the skin, much flatter than scalp hair, and replicating this correctly is what separates a natural result from an obvious one. This is the most skill-intensive phase of the procedure.

Recovery & Growth

You go home the same day. Mild redness and tiny scabs resolve within 7-10 days. The transplanted hairs shed at 2-3 weeks (completely normal), then new permanent growth begins at 3-4 months. Full results are visible at 9-12 months.

Eyebrow Transplant Recovery

Days 1 to 3

Mild swelling and redness around the brow area is normal and subsides quickly. You may also notice slight bruising. Over-the-counter pain medication is usually sufficient. Avoid touching or rubbing the transplant area. Many patients feel comfortable wearing sunglasses to cover the area if they prefer discretion during the first few days.

Days 4 to 10

Tiny scabs form around each implanted follicle and begin to shed naturally. Do not pick at them. By day 7-10, most evidence of the procedure is gone and you can resume your normal social routine. Most patients return to work within 5-7 days.Tiny scabs form around each implanted follicle and begin to shed naturally. Do not pick at them. By day 7-10, most evidence of the procedure is gone and you can resume your normal social routine. Most patients return to work within 5-7 days.

Weeks 2 to 4

The transplanted hairs will fall out. This is expected and is simply the follicle releasing the hair shaft before entering a new growth phase. The follicles themselves are alive and healthy beneath the surface.

Months 3 to 12

New eyebrow hair begins growing in around month 3-4. Growth continues to fill in and thicken over the following months. By 9-12 months, you'll see the full, final result. Because the transplanted follicles come from your scalp, the new brow hair will grow longer than natural eyebrow hair and will need periodic trimming, typically once or twice a month.

Frequently Ask Questions

How much does an eyebrow transplant cost in Toronto?

The cost depends on the number of grafts needed, whether one or both brows are being treated, and the complexity of the restoration. Because every patient's needs are different, we provide personalized cost estimates during your consultation. Financing options are available to make the procedure accessible.

Is an eyebrow transplant permanent?

Yes. The transplanted follicles are genetically permanent. Once they establish blood supply in the brow area, they continue to produce hair for life. The only ongoing maintenance is periodic trimming, since the transplanted hairs retain the growth characteristics of scalp hair and will grow longer than natural brow hair.

Does the procedure hurt?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you won't feel pain during the surgery. Some patients report mild discomfort from the initial numbing injections, but the procedure itself is painless. Post-procedure soreness is minimal.

Will the transplanted brows look natural?

When performed by an experienced surgeon, the results are virtually indistinguishable from natural eyebrows. The critical factor is the angle and direction of graft placement. Eyebrow hair grows at an extremely flat angle to the skin, and replicating this precisely is what creates a natural result. This is where surgical experience makes all the difference.

Can I get an eyebrow transplant after chemotherapy?

Yes. Once a patient has fully recovered from chemotherapy and is medically cleared, an eyebrow transplant is an excellent option for restoring brow hair lost during treatment. The transplanted follicles provide permanent, natural volume that cosmetic tattooing cannot replicate.

Will I need to trim my new eyebrows?

Yes, and this is the one trade-off of an eyebrow transplant. Because the donor hair comes from your scalp, it retains its scalp-hair growth rate. You'll need to trim the transplanted brow hairs once or twice a month to keep them at the proper length. Most patients find this to be a minor maintenance task in exchange for permanently full, natural brows.

Can I still wear makeup after an eyebrow transplant?

Yes. Once the healing phase is complete (typically 2-3 weeks), you can resume wearing brow makeup, tinting, or other cosmetic products. Many patients find that after an eyebrow transplant, they need far less makeup, or none at all, to achieve the brow look they want.

How does an eyebrow transplant compare to microblading?

Microblading deposits pigment into the skin to create the appearance of hair strokes. It fades over 1-3 years and requires regular touch-ups. An eyebrow transplant produces real, growing hair that lasts a lifetime. The transplanted hair has natural texture, movement, and depth that pigment-based methods can't replicate. For patients who want the most realistic and permanent result, a transplant is the superior option.
