Quick answer: An eyebrow transplant uses single-hair grafts, usually taken from the back of the scalp, to rebuild thin, over-plucked or scarred eyebrows. In Canada it typically involves 200 to 700 grafts for both brows and costs about $3,000 to $7,000. Clinics in Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal offer the procedure.

Who gets eyebrow transplants?
- People with brows thinned by years of over-plucking or waxing.
- Patients with scars from injury, burns or surgery.
- People with naturally sparse or uneven brows who want a fuller shape.
- Patients who would rather not rely on microblading or tattooing, which fade over time.
Eyebrow loss caused by an active medical condition, such as alopecia areata, thyroid disease or frontal fibrosing alopecia, usually needs to be diagnosed and stabilised before surgery is considered.
How the procedure works
The surgeon draws the new brow shape with you, then extracts single-hair follicles (usually by FUE) from behind the ears or the back of the scalp. Each graft is placed at a very shallow angle to follow the natural direction of brow hair. The procedure takes about 2 to 4 hours under local anaesthetic.
Eyebrow transplant cost in Canada
| Treatment | Typical grafts | Typical cost (CAD) |
|---|---|---|
| Partial fill (tails or gaps) | 100 to 300 | $2,000 to $4,000 |
| Both brows, moderate rebuild | 300 to 500 | $3,500 to $5,500 |
| Both brows, full reconstruction | 500 to 700+ | $5,000 to $7,500+ |
Eyebrow procedures are often quoted as a flat fee rather than per graft because the work is slow and precise.

Recovery and aftercare
- Small crusts form around each graft for about a week. Avoid makeup on the brows during this time.
- Transplanted hairs usually shed within 2 to 4 weeks, then regrow from month 3 or 4.
- Final results are visible at around 9 to 12 months.
- Because the hair comes from the scalp, it keeps growing and needs to be trimmed every week or two.
Eyebrow transplant vs microblading
Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo that lasts about 1 to 3 years and costs roughly $400 to $900 per session in Canada. A transplant grows real hair and is long-lasting, but costs more and takes months to show results. Some people use microblading while waiting for a transplant to mature.
Frequently asked questions
Are eyebrow transplant results permanent?
Transplanted follicles from the scalp are generally long-lasting, though the hair behaves like scalp hair and must be trimmed.
Does an eyebrow transplant hurt?
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic. Most people describe mild discomfort during the injections and little pain afterwards.
