Unlike normal hair transplantation surgery, eyebrow transplantation (EBT) is a very challenging procedure for hair restoration surgeons.

The donor site is selected from the mid-occipital area since it is lastly to turn gray once age. The caliber of the donor hair needs to be measured whenever possible to match the existing eyebrows. Women want fine hair for eyebrow transplantation, the nape hair is an ideal for donor in women. The method of graft harvesting could be done by either FUT (strip technique) or long hair FUE. FUT can preview how the result of EBT looks and favored by most surgeons. The grafts will be placed one by one into the small incisions made by the surgeon.
