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

Question

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.

Hannah Vargas, MD · Answer

Trimming eyebrow hair post transplant will not hurt the hair follicle when done gently.  Actually, since the hair is transplanted from the scalp the hair will grow at a faster rate and will need to be trimmed more often!

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Trimming transplanted hairs or eyebrow hairs will not harm the hairs.  It should grow like any other hairs.  If you are concerned please follow up with your doctor.

John Kahen, MD · Answer

Gently trimming the eyebrows is often times necessary and will not cause any damage if done carefully.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

Trimming transplanted eyebrow hairs will have little effect on the result of the transplant (provided one is gentle of course).

Michael Meshkin, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

you can trim your eyebrow hair after hair transplant. If you didn't pull the follicle with the roots then the hairs will grow normally.
