The shape and size of your eyebrows play a big role in your overall look, and even small changes can make a big difference, which is why women have preferred various styles throughout the decades. However, fashion changed quickly, and the popularity of thinner eyebrows in the 90s and 2000s made way for the revival of the fuller, natural look from the 2010s onward.
Unfortunately, many women suffer from eyebrow hair loss, either because of overplucking to achieve the previously desirable super-thin look, due to genetic factors, or conditions like Alopecia Areata and Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, but there is a solution.
Eyebrow transplant surgery is a quick and effective way to get your confidence back, and expert clinics in Turkey offer incredible results at a much lower cost than in the US.
If you have sparse eyebrows, the highly-trained professionals at the Asli Tarkan Clinic can help you get the look you’ve always wanted using the latest medical procedures. Here is what the process will look like.
Clinics in Turkey have extensive experience with patients from abroad, particularly the US, so you can call or email them. They will explain what you can expect, discuss the costs, and schedule a date. Once you arrive in Turkey, you will undergo an assessment on the first day to determine the proper eyebrow transplantation procedure.
The surgery involves shaving a small part on the back of your head, which you can easily cover up with the surrounding hair. This will be the donor area, from which the surgeon will take hair grafts and place them in a Petri dish to prevent any damage. Once there are enough grafts, the doctor will then make tiny incisions in the eyebrow area with a special tool and insert them one by one. This is where the patience, experience, and incredible precision of the surgeons at Asli Tarkan shine, as the hairs must be placed at the correct angle to match the natural growth pattern of your eyebrows. Naturally, you will be under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain or discomfort.
Once it is finished, the doctor will put bandages on your eyebrows, and during the first few hours after the procedure, you will remain in the clinic so that we can ensure that there are no complications. After the first week, the slight swelling and pain will go away, and you may experience some itchiness as tiny scabs form and fall off.
You will need to take the medication the doctor gave you for the first 5 days and get plenty of rest. Avoid sunlight for at least the first 10 days after the surgery, and use sunscreen with a high SPF for the next few months. One month in, many of the hairs will shed to make room for new hair growth, which is a normal occurrence. You can also start applying hair gel after 3 weeks to help the new hairs grow in the desired direction.
After 6 to 8 months, most of the new hairs will grow out, but it takes about 12 months after the surgery for them to mature and reach their full thickness. As the transplanted hair comes from the back of the head, it will tend to grow longer, so you will need to trim and style your eyebrows regularly to get the look you want.
The two main techniques used are the DHI and FUE eyebrow transplant. In the FUE technique, the surgeon will first extract hair follicles from the donor area and then use a special sapphire blade to create super-precise microscopic cuts in the recipient area. They will then carefully insert the grafts.
The DHI method is quite similar. A different tool is used, the Choi pen with a hollow metal head, to simultaneously make incisions and implant the follicles. This method is faster, but the sapphire blade used in a FUE hair transplant offers more precision and allows the tissue to heal faster.
After the procedure, you will then be given advice on proper post-op care, such as which facial expressions to avoid and the preferred skincare routine. The main thing to remember is to sleep with the head elevated and to avoid smoking and strenuous physical activity for the first month.
The doctor will cover all the frequently asked questions, and as long as you follow the instructions you can expect lush and thick eyebrows that look completely natural within a year.
An eyebrow hair transplant in Turkey is far ahead of other common solutions for thin eyebrows in terms of natural-looking and long-lasting results. For example, Microblading only lasts 12 to 30 months, doesn’t work well for oily skin, can cause keloid scars, and doesn’t look as realistic upon closer inspection.
Tattooing has similar problems but also doesn’t allow you to change the shape, fades over time and can change color slightly, requires additional sessions every few years, and looks even less realistic.
It’s also a great choice for men in their 30s and 40s with a slightly receding hairline, African-American women suffering from traction alopecia, and men with thinning beards. The transplanted hair will slowly grow out in the coming months, and in the meantime, no one will notice that you’ve had surgery.
The average eyebrow transplant cost in the US is $6000 to $12.000, while the same procedure in Turkey costs only $2,000 to $4,000, depending on the method used and the number of grafts. For a price several times lower than in the US, you get access to a high-end clinic with many excellent reviews from satisfied patients that you can find online.
The results are simply stunning, as you can see from the before and after pictures on our website, giving your eyebrows a much fuller, thicker look and allowing you to style them however you want. The best part is that, with proper care, the results will last for many years to come and can even last you a lifetime.
