Eyebrow Transplant

What decides the size of your plan

Every person walks into a consultation with a different pair of eyebrows. That sounds obvious, but it's the single biggest reason no two quotes are the same. The size of your plan - how many grafts you'll need - comes down to three things: your natural brow shape, how much density you're after, and whether you're filling a gap from overplucking, scarring, or a previous bad tattoo.

What matters is the gap between where you are and where you want to be.

What your quote should include

• Pre-operative consultation - either in-person or via video. This should include a medical history review, a discussion of the patient's aesthetic goals, and an assessment of donor hair quality (usually from the back of the scalp).
• Medical team and lead surgeon - the package should name the doctor who designs the brow line and oversees extraction. In reputable centres, a qualified plastic surgeon or dermatologist performs or at minimum supervises the procedure, not just a technician.
• Inclusive aftercare packs with antibiotics and saline spray

Commonly charged separately

Some components are frequently excluded or come at a separate fee: blood tests (required before surgery), PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy to speed healing, emergency medical insurance, and any touch‑up sessions if the first result is uneven.

For the full step-by-step surgical account — candidacy, the procedure itself, recovery and longevity — see our eyebrow transplant procedure guide.

At Istanbul Care, your new brow line is drawn and agreed with you before the procedure, so the shape fits your face. Fine single grafts from the back of the head are placed at the right angle and direction, under local anaesthetic and with no overnight hospital stay. Your price is confirmed in writing after a free online assessment, before you travel.

If you are planning a hair transplant as well, our all-inclusive hair transplant packages start from $1,990, and each one includes PRP. Istanbul Care holds the Turkish Ministry of Health's International Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate (AK-0396). See packages and prices.

Whether this procedure is worth its price has almost nothing to do with the surgery. It has to do with what you are already spending to get the same look, and how long you intend to carry on spending it.

Run the comparison over years, not over one invoice

Set the one-off surgical fee against what you spend now: the pencils and powders replaced through the year, the pigment work redone as it fades, the minutes spent drawing the same shape every morning. Then pick the horizon honestly — five years, ten, the rest of it. The surgery does not get cheaper, but the alternative keeps adding up, and the two lines cross somewhere. Where they cross is your answer.

What you stop paying for

Transplanted follicles come from the back of the scalp and keep the growth behaviour they had there, which is why the upkeep is trimming rather than topping up. There is no fade schedule and no return appointment built into the price. What replaces it is a small habit: a pair of scissors, every couple of weeks.

Two things that should not be treated as fixed

Skin changes with age, so a brow set in your twenties sits a little differently decades later. That is the face moving rather than the grafts failing. And if you start from very little brow hair, a second session may be the sensible route to the density you pictured. Neither is a surprise if you ask about both before booking. Both are a surprise if you do not.

The biological timeline underneath all of this — the shedding phase, when regrowth begins, and when the final shape settles — is documented in the eyebrow transplant recovery and results guide. Current package pricing is on the hair transplant cost page.

Turkey, and Istanbul in particular, is one of the world's leading destinations for hair restoration, with experienced teams and all-inclusive prices. Treatment here costs a fraction of typical UK and US prices, and the package covers the procedure, hotel, VIP transfers, medication and follow-up in one price.
