Permanent makeup problems

Steven H. Williams, MD answers: Recommendations for fixing bad permanent makeup eyebrows?

I had my eyebrows tattooed today and I am not happy with the result. Can I have it removed and how long do I have to wait? Can I then re-tattoo over the area again?

Thanks for your question -

Laser, dermabrasion or excision can help to fix permanent makeup that you don't like.  Be sure to give the tattooing adequate time to heal (probably about 3 months) and find a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to help.

Good luck!
