Eyelashes have a powerful influence on facial harmony. They frame the eyes, enhance expression, and play an essential role in how youthful and balanced the face appears. For individuals dealing with sparse, damaged, or completely lost eyelashes, a lash transplant offers a modern, natural, and permanent solution.
Turkey has become a leading center for advanced eyelash restoration thanks to refined microsurgical techniques, experienced surgeons, and world-class medical infrastructure. This guide explains everything you need to know about lash transplantation, including how the procedure works, who is an ideal candidate, what results to expect, and how Turkey has become the global hub for this treatment.
A lash transplant is a microsurgical procedure where individual hair follicles—typically taken from the back of the scalp—are implanted into the eyelid to create naturally fuller eyelashes.
Because these follicles are your own, the results are long-lasting and continue to grow permanently.
Performed under local anesthesia
Uses ultra-fine follicular extraction
30–80 lashes implanted per eye depending on needs
No artificial materials
Lifelong growth
Natural appearance, natural curl achievable
Unlike extensions or lash serums, this procedure offers lifelong growth and does not rely on cosmetic adhesives or artificial fibers.
Many patients seek lash transplants due to:
Trauma or burns
Genetic sparse eyelashes
Trichotillomania
Side effects from lash lifts or extensions
Chemotherapy
Aging-related thinning
The surgeon determines length, density, direction, and curvature to match the patient’s eye shape and aesthetic goals.
A detailed examination is performed to analyze eyelid structure, symmetry, and donor hair quality. A personalized lash design is created.
Both eyelids and donor area are numbed to ensure a painless experience.
Using micro-FUE extraction, thin single-hair follicles are selected to ensure softness and natural compatibility with the lash area.
Microscopic channels are opened along the lash line, following the natural angle and growth pattern.
Each follicle is implanted one by one with extreme precision. Angle, direction, and depth must be perfect to avoid unnatural appearance.
Healing begins immediately. Patients usually return home the same day.
| Feature | Lash Transplant | Lash Extensions |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | Permanent | Temporary |
| Material | Your own hair | Synthetic fibers |
| Maintenance | Low | High |
| Natural appearance | Excellent | Moderate |
| Risk | Low | High (glue reactions, lash loss) |
| Cost | Long-term affordable | Repeated long-term costs |
You may be a suitable candidate if you experience:
Naturally weak or sparse eyelashes
Lash loss due to trauma or burns
Hair thinning related to alopecia
Overuse damage from lash extensions
Chemotherapy-induced lash loss
Desire for a fuller, permanent solution instead of temporary cosmetic procedures
A professional evaluation is essential to ensure safe anatomy and suitability.
Initial shedding is normal. Follicles enter a resting phase.
New growth slowly begins.
Lashes appear fuller, denser, and begin showing curvature.
Final, fully matured permanent results.
Although very safe, minor side effects can include:
Mild swelling
Temporary redness
Small scabs
Overgrowth requiring trimming (since scalp hairs grow long)
Performed by a trained surgeon, the risks remain very low.
The treatment generally ranges between $1,500 – $3,500 depending on:
Number of grafts
Clinic and surgeon expertise
Surgery duration
Additional treatments
This is far more affordable compared to Europe or the U.S., where prices can reach $5,000–$8,000.
Highly experienced aesthetic surgeons
State-of-the-art techniques
Strict medical standards
Attractive medical tourism options
High success rates
