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

Polite29177Dec 6, 2023
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. It really depends on your healing rate, if you heal quickly then I think waiting about 6 months would be sufficient. However, if you ten do heal slowly then I would wait about a year before getting a transplant. Best of luck to you. Dr. T

Hello. You need to be clear about the difference between the concept of graft and follicle. A hair follicle is a unit that is extracted from the donor area, which can have 2-4 grafts/hair. If the eyebrow transplant is done with a DHI procedure, all these follicles are implanted as they are,...
