What does an eyebrow transplant cost?
An eyebrow transplant costs £2,200 to £4,600 at UK clinics, with the average sitting around £3,820, and roughly €1,400 to €2,800 at Turkish clinics with hotel nights and transfers included in that figure. Both cover around 600 grafts in total, taken from the band of hair at the back of your head.
Those numbers are harder to compare than they look, because clinics charge for this in three different ways. Some quote a flat fee per brow, some a rate per graft, and some give no price at all until they have seen photographs. At 600 grafts that difference is substantial, and most of this guide is about it.
An eyebrow transplant is the same operation as one on your scalp, only much smaller and more precise. The follicles come from the same donor area, go in one at a time, and then grow like ordinary hair.
How many grafts does an eyebrow transplant take?
Both brows together take around 600 grafts, spread along the length of the brow. The thick section nearest the nose takes more than the thin outer end, because that is where the hairs sit most densely.
Worth noting that two independent sources land on the same breakdown: the Wimpole Clinic in the UK and International Clinics in Turkey both give 200 to 300 grafts for the head, 300 to 500 for the body and 100 to 200 for the tail. On a subject where published figures usually disagree, that is unusual.
How many you would need depends on what is still there. My Hair UK gives 100 to 200 grafts per brow for thickening thin brows, 200 to 300 for rebuilding overplucked ones and 300 to 400 for a full reconstruction, and notes that published case series average around 300 per brow. A clinic settles that at consultation, not from a photograph at a distance.
Why one clinic charges per graft and another a flat fee
Clinics use three different pricing models for eyebrows, which is the main reason quotes land so far apart. It pays to know which one you are looking at.
Model | What you pay | When it works in your favour |
|---|---|---|
Flat fee per brow | One figure, whatever the graft count | When you need a lot, since the number doesn't move the price |
Rate per graft | A rate multiplied by the follicles used | With mild thinning, when little is needed |
No price until photos | Nothing, until the clinic has looked | When your case is unusual |

The gap is wider than it sounds. A flat fee is built around a surgical day with a team on it, and that figure barely moves if only 250 follicles are needed. On a per-graft rate you would pay a fraction in that case. Need a full reconstruction and it reverses, and the flat fee is the better deal.
Eyebrow transplant in the UK or in Turkey?
The price gap between the UK and Turkey holds up at eyebrow scale, which is not true of every procedure. On a scalp transplant of 1,500 grafts the difference can shrink to almost nothing once flights are counted. On eyebrows it does not, because UK clinics price brows as a premium fixed procedure rather than off their usual graft ladder.
UK | Turkey | |
|---|---|---|
Both brows | £2,200 to £4,600 | Around €1,400 to €2,800 |
Average | £3,820, around €4,500 | No published average |
What's included | Consultation, surgery, aftercare kit, follow-ups | Surgery, hotel nights, airport transfers, a coordinator |
What sits outside | No travel needed | Flights and time off |

UK figures from the Wimpole Clinic's 2026 survey of UK clinics and from My Hair UK, which publishes a fixed £2,899. Turkish figures from International Clinics, 2026, quoted there in dollars ($1,500 to $3,000 all-in) and converted here to rounded euro.
Add a flight and the difference still stands. That makes eyebrows one of the clearer cases for travelling, which is not something we would say about every procedure.
What that Turkish figure buys you
At most Turkish clinics an eyebrow transplant runs through the same organised route as a scalp procedure. You are collected from the airport, the hotel nights sit inside the price, and there is a coordinator who speaks your language. A lot of the clinics look more like hotels inside than hospitals.
Istanbul has hundreds of clinics doing almost nothing but hair transplants, and brows increasingly sit within that. The specialisation is why people who are not travelling for the money travel anyway. What a package covers is set out in our guide to hair transplant costs in Turkey.
One practical advantage with brows: nothing visible gets shaved. The follicles come from the donor area at the back, where a small patch is trimmed and then disappears under the surrounding hair. You will not be walking around with an obvious shave the way you would after a full scalp procedure.
Who has an eyebrow transplant?
Eyebrow transplants are done on brows that have thinned, on scars where nothing grows any more, and for people who plucked for years and found the hair never came back. It is more common among women than men.
If the hair on your scalp is thinning as well, the order of things is worth a conversation, because the follicles come from the same donor area. What makes hair loss in women different is covered in our guide to hair transplants for women. If you are weighing up how the procedure itself is done, that is in FUE vs DHI vs sapphire FUE.
The hair keeps growing, so you have to trim it
Transplanted eyebrow hair grows the way the hair on your head grew, because that is what it is. An ordinary eyebrow hair stops by itself at a few millimetres; scalp hair does not. In practice that means trimming every couple of weeks, permanently.
That is not a complication and nothing has gone wrong when it happens. But it rarely appears on a clinic page, and it is the most common surprise afterwards.
What to ask a clinic
Do you charge per graft or a flat fee per brow?
How many grafts do you think my case needs, and what are you basing that on?
Is anything visible shaved?
How many brow procedures do you do in a year?
What happens if the shape is not what I had in mind?
HairLinQ is free for patients and paid for by the clinics that receive patients through us. What we check about a clinic is that it holds a valid Turkish government authorisation for international health tourism: see our clinic verification methodology, which is not a warranty of quality, safety or results.
Because the pricing models differ so much, putting quotes side by side is worth more here than almost anywhere else. You can request quotes and, where the form asks where you are losing hair, choose "other". Write in the text box that this is about your eyebrows and what you would like, and you will get prices back for that.
Frequently asked questions
How many grafts does an eyebrow transplant need?
Both brows together need around 600 grafts: 200 to 300 for the thick section nearest the nose, 300 to 500 for the middle and 100 to 200 for the thin outer end. Per brow, My Hair UK gives 100 to 200 grafts for thickening, 200 to 300 for rebuilding overplucked brows and 300 to 400 for a full reconstruction.
How much does an eyebrow transplant cost in the UK?
An eyebrow transplant in the UK costs £2,200 to £4,600 depending on the clinic, with the average around £3,820 according to the Wimpole Clinic's 2026 survey. Most UK clinics quote a fixed fee covering consultation, surgery, aftercare and follow-ups rather than charging per graft.
Is an eyebrow transplant cheaper in Turkey?
An eyebrow transplant in Turkey works out around €1,400 to €2,800 for both brows, with hotel nights, airport transfers and a coordinator usually inside that figure. Flights and time off sit on top. The gap with UK pricing holds up even after travel, which is not true of every procedure.
Will my head be shaved for an eyebrow transplant?
Your head is not shaved for an eyebrow transplant. The follicles come from the donor area at the back, where a small patch is trimmed and then disappears under the surrounding hair, so there is nothing visible to explain afterwards.
Does transplanted eyebrow hair keep growing?
Transplanted eyebrow hair keeps growing like scalp hair, because it is scalp hair. Where an ordinary eyebrow hair stops at a few millimetres, this does not, so you will need to trim it every couple of weeks for as long as you have it.
Before you decide
This article gives general information and is not medical advice. Whether an eyebrow transplant suits you depends on what is still there, on your donor area and on your health, and that is for a doctor who examines you to judge.
