An eyebrow transplant in Turkey starts from €1,200 at Soraca Med. Many patients search for clinics in Istanbul, but the same FUE eyebrow transplant is available in Antalya, where Soraca Med is based, often combined with a holiday by the sea. A full eyebrow reconstruction usually needs about 200 to 400 grafts per brow, takes a few hours under local anesthesia, and the final result is visible after 9 to 12 months. Every treatment plan at Soraca Med is reviewed by our plastic surgeon, Dr. Gökhan Bacak.

Istanbul or Antalya: Does the City Change the Price?
Istanbul has the largest number of hair and eyebrow transplant clinics in Turkey, so it is often the first city patients search for. The medical technique, however, is the same: what matters is the experience of the team that designs your brows and places each graft, not the city.
| Istanbul | Antalya (Soraca Med) | |
| Typical price level | Wide range, from very low to premium | From €1,200 with personalised planning |
| Flights | Many direct flights from Europe | Many direct flights from Europe, especially in season |
| Atmosphere | Large, busy city | Smaller coastal city, quieter recovery |
| What to check | Who performs the procedure, graft counts, aftercare | The same: surgeon involvement, design, aftercare |
Be careful with very cheap offers in any city. The International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery has warned about unlicensed clinics where technicians perform procedures without proper medical supervision. Always ask who designs your brows and who places the grafts.
What Affects Eyebrow Transplant Cost?
- Number of grafts: filling a scar or small gap costs less than rebuilding both brows completely.
- Design complexity: a new shape, arch or tail needs more planning and more grafts.
- Donor area: grafts are usually taken from the back of the scalp, where hair is permanent.
- Combined procedures: some patients combine an eyebrow transplant with a scalp hair transplant or beard transplant in one trip.
- Package: hotel nights and transfers change the total trip cost, not the procedure itself.
How an Eyebrow Transplant Is Performed
- Design: the brow shape is drawn on your face and agreed with you before any graft is taken. This is the most important step.
- Local anesthesia: the donor area and eyebrows are numbed.
- Extraction: fine single-hair grafts are taken from the back of the scalp with the FUE technique.
- Placement: each graft is placed at a very flat angle, following the natural direction of eyebrow hair, which changes from the head to the tail of the brow.
- Aftercare instructions: you receive a care kit and written instructions before leaving.
Because transplanted hairs come from the scalp, they keep growing like scalp hair and need to be trimmed regularly, usually every one to three weeks.
Healing and Results Timeline
| Time after the procedure | What to expect |
| Days 1 to 7 | Small crusts around each graft, mild redness and swelling; do not rub, scratch or pick |
| Days 7 to 10 | Crusts fall off; grafts are now secure if instructions were followed |
| Weeks 2 to 6 | Many transplanted hairs shed; this is normal, as the follicle stays under the skin |
| Months 2 to 4 | New hairs start to grow, often unevenly at first |
| Months 4 to 8 | Density and shape improve |
| Months 9 to 12 | Final result, with hairs that can be trimmed and shaped |
Avoid makeup on the brows, swimming, saunas, heavy sweating and direct sun for the first one to two weeks, or for as long as your doctor advises.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Eyebrow transplantation can help people with thin or missing brows due to over-plucking, scars, burns, previous tattooing or genetics. It is also used after some types of hair loss once the condition has been stable for a period of time.
It is not recommended while an active hair loss condition is affecting the brows, for example active alopecia areata or frontal fibrosing alopecia, because new grafts may also be lost. A doctor should examine your brows and scalp first.
Eyebrow Transplant vs Microblading
| Eyebrow transplant | Microblading | |
| What it is | Your own hair follicles moved to the brows | Semi-permanent pigment in the skin |
| Result | Real, growing hair | The look of hair strokes |
| Duration | Long-lasting | Fades, usually needs touch-ups every 1 to 2 years |
| Maintenance | Regular trimming | Colour touch-ups |
Choosing a Clinic
- Ask to see before and after photos of eyebrow transplants specifically, not only scalp hair transplants.
- Confirm who designs the brows and who places the grafts.
- Ask how many grafts are planned for each brow and why.
- Make sure written aftercare and a contact person after you return home are included.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an eyebrow transplant cost in Turkey?
At Soraca Med, an eyebrow transplant starts from €1,200. The final price depends on how many grafts are needed and whether you combine it with another procedure.
Is an eyebrow transplant cheaper in Istanbul than in Antalya?
Prices vary more between clinics than between cities. Compare what is included, who performs the procedure and the aftercare offered rather than the city alone.
How many grafts do I need for an eyebrow transplant?
Filling small gaps may need around 50 to 200 grafts per brow, while a full reconstruction usually needs about 200 to 400 grafts per brow. The exact number is decided at your assessment.
When will I see eyebrow transplant results?
New hairs usually start growing after two to four months, and the final result is seen at about nine to twelve months.
Are eyebrow transplant results permanent?
The transplanted follicles come from the permanent donor area of the scalp, so they usually keep growing long term. They grow like scalp hair and need regular trimming.
How long do I need to stay in Turkey?
Most patients stay two to three days for the assessment, procedure and first check.
