Eyelash & Eyebrow Transplant
Your eyelashes and eyebrows are vital in framing your face and enhancing your overall appearance. Whether due to genetics, over-plucking, medical treatments, and medications, trauma, or aesthetic preferences, sparse or missing brows and lashes can impact your self-confidence.
Eyelash and eyebrow transplant procedures provide a permanent, natural-looking solution by carefully transplanting healthy hair follicles from a donor area—typically the posterior area of the scalp—to the desired region.

Why Choose This Procedure & Complementary Treatments ?
This procedure is ideal for those seeking a long-term (near permanent) solution to thinning or missing lashes and brows. Unlike temporary solutions like makeup, serums, or microblading, hair transplants provide natural growth that blends seamlessly with your hair pattern. The procedure can be combined with other treatments, such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, which enhances follicle growth and promotes thicker, healthier hair.
Your Consultation
During your consultation with Dr. Forouzanpour, your medical history, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals will be discussed. The doctor will assess your donor hair supply, determine the most suitable transplant technique, and explain the expected results and outcome. You’ll also receive pre-procedure instructions, which may include avoiding certain medications and discontinuing smoking to optimize healing and the best result.
The Ideal Candidate
Common incision patterns include:
- Is at least 18 years old
- Is in good overall health
- Has adequate donor hair available (usually from the posterior area of the scalp)
- Does not suffer from active scalp or skin diseases
- Has realistic expectations about the outcome
- Has fully recovered from conditions like trichotillomania (must be symptom-free for at least one year)
The Procedure
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
- Individual hair follicles are carefully extracted from the donor area using a precision micro-punch tool.
- The follicles are meticulously implanted in the brow or lash line to ensure natural-looking results.
- This minimally invasive method leaves tiny, nearly invisible scars and promotes quicker healing.
Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT)
- A small strip of hair-bearing skin is removed from the donor area and dissected into individual follicular unit grafts.
- These units are implanted into the brows or lash line to achieve the desired fullness and shape.
Since the transplanted hair originates from the scalp, it will continue to grow and may require periodic trimming and shaping to maintain a natural appearance.

Eyelash & Eyebrow Transplant: Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Get This Procedure If I Use False Lashes?
Yes, but individuals who have sustained eyelid damage from long-term use of false lashes should have their eyelids assessed for health and suitability before undergoing transplantation.
Is the Procedure Painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort. Post-procedure discomfort is typically mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
How Many Hair Follicles Are Transplanted?
- Eyelashes: Each upper eyelid typically receives 24-40 follicles per session.
- Eyebrows: Depending on the desired shape and density, around 250 follicles per brow are transplanted.
Are There Any Risks or Complications?
As with any surgical procedure, risks are rare but may include infection, swelling, and bruising, temporary loss of some transplanted hair (shock loss), scarring (minimal with FUE), misdirected growth (in rare cases, lashes growing toward the eye may require removal).
Eyelash and eyebrow transplants offer a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for those looking to restore or enhance their facial features. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Forouzanpour to determine if this procedure suits you.
