Complete regret 6 months after eyebrow transplant. How soon can I shape my eyebrows to make them look better? (Photo)

Question

I had an eyebrow transplant about 6 months ago. The eyebrow hair looks unnatural and uneven. How soon can I shape them to make them look better? Also, is it normal to have scars underneath the hair? They are noticeable and I’m worried if I shape them the scar will appear. I know over plucking will damage the hair follicles. I’m hoping I can lift the shape to improve my appearance. I did FUE procedure.

Hello and thank you for your question. Since your surgery was 6 months ago grooming your eyebrows shouldn't be an issue. Seeing scars, however, is not "normal". I suggest seeing your surgeon for some answers that best suit you. Best of luck to you.

Regarding your concern;
1. Since it's been 6 months after surgery already, there's no problem for you to groom them the way you want. 
2. In my opinion, it's not normal to have scars underneath. However, the photo is quite blurry so I cannot see well. 
I highly recommend you to discuss with the surgeon you got the eyebrow transplant with if he/she can do anything to help.
