Chrissy Teigen, model, and wife of John Legend, is known for a lot of things, her gorgeous looks, her enviable career... and her eyebrow transplants. Teigen is most notably known, however, for stirring the pot. After all, she is frequently in the media for causing controversy.
Teigen has also been very transparent about the surgical procedures she's undergone over the years, including the removal of her breast implants and buccal fat removal. More recently she has released details about her second installment of eyebrow transplants. Chrissy debuted the outcomes of her first eyebrow transplant surgery on her Instagram last year, and received a lot of backlash for it. She doesn’t understand why people have such a problem with her. We all know, but we are still curious. How much does it cost to get new eyebrows?
What Is An Eyebrow Transplant?
During an eyebrow transplant, a cosmetic procedure, hair grafts (plugs) are transplanted to the area of the brow. These grafts are intended to promote the development of new hairs, providing the appearance of greater fullness. The procedure itself is similar to a typical hair transplant. For eyebrow hair grafts, the hairs above your ears are used.
In addition to moving the individual hairs, a surgeon also moves the hair follicles. This allows for the growth of new hairs in your brows after the initial transplanted ones fall out. After giving you general anesthetic, a surgeon will make minute incisions in your brows at the follicle supply and transplant sites. The procedure takes two to three hours to complete.
Why Did Chrissy Teigen Get Another Eyebrow Transplant?
Society frequently looks to the rich and famous, like celebrities having brow transplants, for the latest beauty trends. If current Hollywood fashion is any indication, bigger brows are the newest trend. In the past, thin brows were popular, but nowadays, more and more A-list celebrities are choosing fuller, thicker brows. They appear more dramatic and organic thanks to this.
Having eyebrows might seem insignificant. But they're essential for conveying emotion, framing face features, and they may give your look personality. Some celebrities with thick, natural brows include Emilia Clarke, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Cara Delevingne. The thicker brow trend is being followed by numerous well-known celebrities. Yet not everyone has thick, even brows; others have thin, irregular, or even nonexistent brows. This may upset them, especially with the trend toward larger brows. Now they can fix that.
Chrissy Teigen first got an eyebrow transplant because she didn’t like the look of her eyebrows. In an Instagram post, she warned teens not to pluck their brows because they would end up falling out and thinning out as hers did.
Chrissy likes to fit in and be caught up with the trends. The current trend is big full eyebrows, so Chrissy got them. She has said she likes the fuller look and wants hers to look fluffy. As the hair used for an eyebrow transplant is taken from the scalp, it will continue to grow on the eyebrow just as it would if it were still on the scalp. To preserve the hair on the eyebrows at the desired length after an eyebrow transplant, they need to be trimmed routinely.
Also, these hairs will fall out like the hair on our heads, or the follicles may need to be adjusted and/or added to. This is the reason for the second installment that Chrissy got. Adding more hair and getting the brows trimmed and evened out.
How Much Did Chrissy Teigen’s Eyebrow Transplant Cost?
On average, eyebrow implants cost between $3,000 and $6,000. Chrissy Teigen's specific procedure cost $6,000 at a typical office. However, Chrissy’s procedure was done by Dr. Jason Diamond and Dr. Jason Champagne. They are Beverly Hills plastic surgeons. Dr. Jason Diamond is known for his work with the entire Kardashian family, he has also worked with Katy Perry; not for eyebrow transplants, though.
When it comes to celebrities, they go to the best of the best. The best usually always means the most expensive too. These doctors charge anywhere from $8,000 to $20,000 for brow transplants. Teigen’s procedure took five hours to complete, and cost around $20,000. She had roughly 250 new hairs transferred into each brow. As far as her follow-up procedures they cost around $10,000. That is for making them even and trimming them up.
Why Did Chrissy Teigen Receive So Much Backlash For Her Eyebrow Transplants?
It’s no secret the world doesn’t care much for Chrissy Teigen. In fact, in the wake of her big cyberbullying scandal, Chrissy Teigen was publicly defamed by the high-end, A-lister, West Hollywood boutique Kitson two years in a row. Images posted revealed that the store's holiday display for the year featured photos of the scandal-plagued founder of Cravings with the term ‘canceled’ inscribed over her forehead as well as news clippings of unfavorable articles sparked by the hashtag #SurvivingChrissyTeigen.

The Kitson shop, which gained notoriety in the 2000s thanks to Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton, publishes a disparaging ‘People of the Year wall’ each year in which they publicly denounce those they believe to be hypocrites and who need to be held accountable for their behavior.
People took to social media over her eyebrow transplant dragging her with comments like:
- 'The world is burning down but thank heaven that Chrissy Teigen was able to transplant her eyebrows!'
- 'I am so thankful that #chrissyteigen was able to get an eyebrow transplant. What a tragic nightmare she has been going through!!!'
- 'Saw the headline of an article yesterday that @chrissyteigen got an eyebrow transplant. Me? Trying to continue to pay bills and live life.' #tryingnottojudge #richpeopleproblems
Of course, there was a lot more than that, and they were not as nice. The main point people were trying to get across is that there are big problems out in the world, people who need life-saving transplants and can’t get them. Those who lose their eyebrows due to a disease and don’t whine about it.
