The Difference Between Eyebrow Transplant and Long Hair FUE

In a classic eyebrow transplant, the donor hair is shaved and the follicles are taken with the FUE method. The grafts are separated into single follicles outside and placed into micro channels prepared in the brow area.

In the Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant method, the hair is taken without shaving, keeping its current length. Because the long form of the follicles is preserved, their direction and length can be seen during implantation.

Both methods use the person's own follicles and aim for a natural-looking brow that suits the face. However, the techniques and the way the follicles are assessed during the procedure differ.

For detailed information on Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant, see our Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant page.

Shock Loss and New Brow Growth

Seeing the long implanted hairs immediately after the procedure does not mean that this is the final result.

Shock loss may occur within the first 10–15 days. During this period the visible hairs may fall out, but the follicles remain under the skin.

New hairs start to grow at around the 3rd month. In the following months they continue to grow, thicken and adapt to the brow area.

The final result usually appears within 6–8 months. The time it takes varies from person to person.

Why Is Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant a Special Procedure?

Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant is a special procedure that requires high technical precision and an experienced team. Taking the follicles at their long length, creating the micro channels and placing each follicle at the correct angle and direction demand a high level of care and experience.

That is why Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant is not a procedure that can be carried out with a standard hair transplant approach. A natural result requires correct planning, a special technique and a team experienced in this field.

With our team experienced in Long Hair FUE Eyebrow Transplant in İzmir, we carry out personalised planning and the procedure with great care. As Nilhair, our aim is to give every patient a natural-looking result that suits their own face and brow structure.
