Eyebrow Transplant: How Soon Will Cobblestones Appear? (photo)
On January 17, 2013, I underwent an eyebrow transplant procedure. I received 300 grafts per. brow and most of the crusting is gone. What I am noticing now is small bumps on my right eyebrow at the graft site. I am still itchy and tender in the area. My left brow doesn't feel the smoothest but I don't see bumps, anywhere. The bumps are located at the beginning of the right brow and I don't see them anywhere else on the brow. I hope its simply part of the process and will smooth out.

Bumps After Eyebrow Transplant
Strange bumps at the root of the grafted hairs can be a normal part of the healing process with hair and eyebrow transplant.

In any case, this should go away, but it may take time. Even up to several months. If it becomes a serious problem, definitely follow up with your surgeon.

Eyebrow transplant
It is much too early to evaluate the results of what appears to be a well done procedure . Allow more time for healing to take place but contact your surgeon if you need assurance.

Hair Transplant bumps
Yes, this is often just part of the process. However, it is not always the case and they can last a long time. Overall, its still a good idea to go back in and have them looked at by your hair restoration doctor.
