I nick my eyebrows with an electric facial trimmer to form eyebrow slits. I shave them frequently. Will they grow back? (Photo)

CBMeasSep 21, 2017
I shave the same area of my eyebrow about every month. I want to know if this repeated shaving of the same area will cause that area to stop growing hair. I use an electric facial razor which i will attach an image of. When I shave the area, i usually shave it down to the skin. I press the trimmer into my skin so that it trims down to the skin but i do not press down hard enough to cause any pain. Some tips to prevent hair loss in this procedure would be appreciated as well. Thank you :)

I'm sorry you are not happy.  Generally, brow transplants work very well.  It is unclear why some of the follicles did not survive.  It is not terribly uncommon (maybe 15-20%) to have small touch ups to the brow with secondary grafting sessions.

One must worry about scars from the punches to extract the follicles on the face if beard is the donor site. Hair from the scalp is preferable.
