You're not alone if you’ve ever found yourself dreaming of fuller, more defined eyebrows—yet feeling frustrated by makeup routines or sparse natural growth. At Allure Esthetic in Seattle, WA, we understand how essential eyebrows can be for framing the face and boosting self-confidence.
We’ve seen firsthand how an eyebrow transplant with Dr. Javad Sajan can transform a person’s appearance and how they feel about themselves every day. In this article, we’ll walk you through all the essentials of eyebrow transplant surgery—from what it is to how it works to what you can expect during your visit with us.
What Is An Eyebrow Transplant?
An eyebrow transplant is a specialized procedure designed to restore or enhance eyebrow hair by transferring hair follicles from one part of the body (usually the back of the scalp) to the eyebrow area. This is often considered a form of hair restoration surgery but explicitly focuses on creating natural-looking brows. Here’s how an eyebrow lift works:
- Harvesting Hair Follicles: We typically remove healthy hair follicles from a donor area (often at the back of the head).
- Preparing the Grafts: The harvested follicles are then carefully sorted and prepared.
- Transplantation: Dr. Sajan meticulously places the grafts into the eyebrow region to match your desired shape, thickness, and arch.
We aim to create eyebrow contours that look natural and reflect each patient’s unique features. We use advanced techniques that help ensure graft survival, shape accuracy, and minimal scarring.
Why Get An Eyebrow Transwplant?
People consider an eyebrow transplant in Seattle, WA, for many reasons, and everyone’s motivations can be deeply personal. Some of the most common include:
- Sparse or Thin Eyebrows: From genetics to over-plucking, many individuals don’t grow enough brow hair for their desired look.
- Scarring or Trauma: Injuries, burns, or scars in the eyebrow area can prevent hair from growing back properly. An eyebrow transplant surgery can help restore hair in those specific regions.
- Medical Conditions: Certain medical or hormonal conditions can cause eyebrow hair to thin or fall out.
- Personal Aesthetics: Some want to enhance or reshape their eyebrows for a youthful, balanced appearance.
No matter the reason, Dr. Sajan will work closely with you to design an eyebrow shape and thickness that best suits your facial structure, style, and preferences.
Benefits Of An Eyebrow Transplant
When performed by a skilled surgeon like Dr. Sajan, an eyebrow transplant can offer a range of benefits:
- Natural Appearance: Because we use your hair follicles, the transplanted hairs grow and blend seamlessly with any existing eyebrow hair.
- Long-Lasting Results: Once the transplanted hair starts growing, it typically grows for a lifetime.
- Customized Shape: You can work with us to design the exact eyebrow shape that complements your face.
- Boost in Confidence: Fuller, well-defined eyebrows often provide a sense of renewed confidence.
- Reduced Daily Maintenance: Imagine minimizing the time you spend filling in your brows each morning. With an eyebrow transplant, you may only need minimal upkeep.
What To Expect During An Eyebrow Transplant
We know any surgical procedure can feel intimidating, so we prioritize patient comfort from start to finish. Here’s a quick look at the typical process at Allure Esthetic:
- Consultation: During your first meeting, Dr. Sajan will discuss your goals, examine your eyebrow area, and determine if you’re a good candidate. We’ll discuss your desired shape and thickness and create a personalized plan.
- Preparation: On the day of your eyebrow transplant surgery, we’ll make sure you’re settled and comfortable before beginning. Dr. Sajan uses meticulous techniques to minimize discomfort.
- Hair Follicle Harvesting: We typically remove small groups of healthy hair follicles from your donor site. Dr. Sajan is careful to harvest these follicles in a way that preserves the natural look of your donor area.
- Creating the Incisions: Tiny incisions are made in the eyebrow region where each follicle will be placed. Placement is strategic to ensure the hair grows in a natural direction.
- Transplantation: The harvested follicles are then implanted one by one. This step can be time-consuming but is critical for a successful and natural-looking outcome.
- Aftercare Instructions: Before you head home, we’ll provide clear aftercare guidelines to help you achieve the best possible results.
We focus on patient education and comfort, so you’ll know exactly what’s happening at each stage. Our friendly staff is always available to answer any questions or concerns.
What Is Recovery Like?
Eyebrow transplant recovery is generally straightforward, but following your aftercare instructions closely is essential for optimal healing and results. Here’s what you can expect:
- Mild Swelling and Redness: It’s common to experience some swelling around the eyebrows and donor area in the first few days. This should subside pretty quickly.
- Scabbing: Small scabs may form where the new follicles have been placed. Avoid picking at them, as doing so could dislodge the grafts.
- Shedding of Transplanted Hairs: Don’t be alarmed if the transplanted hairs fall out a few weeks after surgery. This is part of the normal hair growth cycle, and new hair should begin to grow in its place within a few months.
- Follow-up Appointments: We’ll schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress, address concerns, and ensure your healing.
Recovery time can vary from person to person, but most patients resume their regular routines within a few days to a week. Over the following months, you’ll notice gradual, natural-looking growth in the eyebrow area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a good candidate for an eyebrow transplant?
You may be an excellent candidate if you have sparse or missing eyebrows due to genetics, over-plucking, trauma, or medical conditions. A consultation with Dr. Sajan will help determine if eyebrow transplant surgery is the right choice for you.
When will I see the final results?
While you’ll notice initial improvements soon after the procedure, the most significant changes become apparent several months in as your new eyebrow hairs grow and fill out.
Is an eyebrow transplant permanent?
Yes. Because transplanted hairs are taken from a permanent hair-bearing area, they typically continue to grow indefinitely once they’re established in the eyebrow region.
How should I maintain my new eyebrows?
You may need to trim or groom the transplanted hairs occasionally, as they will grow similarly to scalp hair. During follow-up appointments, we’ll discuss maintenance tips to keep your brows looking their best.
What is the downtime like?
Most patients can return to their usual daily activities within a few days. Mild swelling or redness may occur but usually subsides quickly. If you follow our aftercare instructions, eyebrow transplant recovery is relatively smooth.
