How eyebrow transplantation is done
Dr. Morris performs eyebrow transplantation using the advanced Foundation method, which begins with harvesting individual follicular units from the back of the scalp using a no-shave Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) technique. This approach preserves the donor site’s appearance while allowing Dr. Morris to extract grafts with ideal caliber, texture, and growth orientation for the brows. Each follicle is isolated to ensure viability and uniformity before transplantation.
Once harvested, Dr. Morris designs your ideal brow shape with meticulous attention to natural brow structure. She creates recipient sites using ultra-fine custom blades, controlling the angle, direction, and orientation of each incision to mirror natural hair growth. The follicles are then implanted one by one, following a strategic pattern to achieve ideal density and layering. This results in brows that grow naturally and heal into virtually undetectable pinpoint sites.
Benefits of eyebrow transplantation:

- Allows precise control over brow shape, direction, and density
- Grows and behaves like natural eyebrow hair

- Safe and minimally invasive with minimal downtime
- Long-term, low-maintenance solution for fuller brows
Am I a good candidate for eyebrow transplantation?
If you have thinning, sparse, or patchy brows—whether from over-plucking, genetics, aging, or scarring—you’re likely a great candidate. You’ll also need a healthy donor area (usually the back of the scalp) with strong, viable hair follicles. Dr. Morris will evaluate your medical history, hair quality, and aesthetic goals to make sure the procedure is safe and effective for you.
Eyebrow Transplantation FAQs
How long does eyebrow transplantation take?
The procedure typically takes about 4 to 6 hours, depending on how many grafts are needed to achieve your desired brow shape and density. During that time, Dr. Morris will carefully harvest and implant each hair follicle, ensuring the design complements your facial structure.
Is eyebrow transplantation painful?
Not at all. The area is completely numbed with a local anesthetic before the procedure begins. You may feel a bit of pressure or movement, but you shouldn’t experience any pain. After the procedure, some mild soreness or tightness around the donor and brow area is normal, but most patients describe it as very manageable and brief.
What’s the recovery process like?
You may notice some redness, pinpoint scabbing, or mild swelling in the brow area for the first few days. These effects typically fade within 5-7 days. The transplanted hairs will shed after 2-3 weeks—that’s expected. New growth starts around month four, and full results take 6 to 9 months to develop. Most people return to normal activities within a few days.
Will the transplanted hairs grow like normal eyebrow hairs?
Yes—with a caveat. The transplanted hairs come from your scalp, so they retain the growth pattern of scalp hair. This means they’ll grow a bit longer than natural brow hair and may require occasional trimming to maintain the shape. That said, most patients find this easy to manage and well worth the trade-off for fuller, real brows that look seamless and natural.
Can I wear makeup after the procedure?
You’ll want to avoid makeup on or near your brows for at least 7 to 10 days after the procedure to prevent infection and ensure optimal healing. Once the skin has fully recovered and scabbing is gone, you can resume your normal brow grooming routine, including makeup. In fact, most patients find they need much less makeup once their brows grow in.
Is one session enough, or will I need a second?
Most patients achieve excellent results with just one session. However, if you’re seeking very dense brows or need refinement after the initial healing period, Dr. Morris may recommend a second session several months later. This isn’t always necessary, but it can be helpful in fine-tuning shape or density for more dramatic transformations.
When will I see the results?
You’ll start to see early signs of new growth around four months after the procedure. This continues to improve over time, with the final results typically visible after six to nine months. As the hairs grow gradually, the transformation is subtle and natural—allowing you to enjoy your new brows with growing confidence each day.
