I trimmed some of the transplanted eyebrows. Will that cause it to not grow back once it's shed?

No hair roots came out it was just the scab and the hair that I carefully trimmed off but I left some behind so the trimmed eyebrow will fall out and shed when it was ready.

It is best to ask your doctor that is performing the procedure to find out their suggestion. I usually recommend to wait about a week.

If you have a cut or a scar on your eyebrow with no hair growth, you can fill in the gap with makeup or hair transplant to the area.

The healing process takes about 10 days to 2 weeks.  If you pulled the scabs during this time peroied and the follicle came out then the hair will not grow, if you just pulled the hair shaft the hair will grow.
