Eyebrow Transplant in Gurgaon, Designed Hair by Hair

Hair follicles are taken from the back of the scalp, separated into single-hair grafts under magnification, and placed into the brow one at a time at the angle and direction that brow hair naturally grows. It is a day-case procedure under local anaesthetic.

Almost always the back of the scalp, in the same donor zone used for a scalp transplant. Scalp hair is the closest reliable match available in quantity. Because it keeps the growth characteristics of the donor site, it grows longer than native brow hair and needs regular trimming.

Yes, and this is the single most important thing to understand before booking. Native brow hair has a short growth cycle and stops at brow length on its own. Transplanted scalp hair does not — it keeps growing. Most people trim every one to two weeks, permanently. If that is not acceptable to you, this is not the right procedure.

It depends entirely on how much brow is missing and what shape is being restored, and it is decided from the drawn design rather than from a standard number. Partial gaps need far fewer than a brow being rebuilt from almost nothing. The count comes from the plan agreed with you, not from a price list.

It can, and the variables are angle, direction and restraint. Brow hairs lie almost flat against the skin rather than standing up like scalp hair, and they change direction across the brow — upward at the inner end, flattening through the body, angling down towards the tail. Getting those right matters more than the graft count. Packing a brow too densely is what makes work look transplanted.

The transplanted follicles generally persist, in the same way donor hair does on the scalp. Not every graft survives, and a second smaller session is sometimes planned to refine shape or add density once the first has matured.

Not while the condition is active. Alopecia areata can affect transplanted hair exactly as it affected the original, and operating during an active phase risks losing the grafts. It needs to be assessed, treated and stable for a sustained period before surgery is even discussed. This is one of the more common reasons we advise against proceeding.

Often, yes. Years of plucking or threading can permanently damage follicles, and where the hair has not returned on its own after a long period it is unlikely to. That is a common and generally straightforward indication, assuming the skin is healthy and there is no active inflammatory condition.

Grafting into scar tissue is possible but less predictable, because scarred skin has a poorer blood supply than normal skin and graft survival is lower. It is usually approached conservatively, sometimes across two sessions, and the likely outcome is discussed frankly before you decide.

Typically a few hours for both brows, depending on the number of grafts. It is a day case — you arrive, it is done under local anaesthetic, and you go home the same day.

The anaesthetic injections around the brow are the uncomfortable part and are brief. The procedure itself is not typically painful. Swelling around the eyes for a few days afterwards is common and settles.

The transplanted hairs usually shed within the first few weeks while the follicles stay in place. Regrowth generally begins around three to four months, with the shape settling over roughly eight to twelve months. Early growth is patchy and uneven, which is normal and not a sign of failure.

Not immediately. The recipient area needs to be left alone while it heals, and you will be given a specific timeline at your review. Returning to pencil or powder too early risks the grafts and the healing skin.

Microblading is semi-permanent pigment deposited in the skin — no hair, and it fades and needs redoing. A transplant places living follicles that grow. Microblading is quicker and reversible by fading; a transplant is surgery with a long timeline and a permanent trimming commitment. They solve the same visible problem in very different ways.

It follows the graft number in your agreed design, so it is quoted after assessment rather than published as a headline figure. Our cost guide explains what moves the number. You get an itemised written estimate before any date is booked.
