Is it okay to wear bangs after an eyebrow transplant, how long should one wait?

RopMar 18, 2018
I had an eyebrow transplant about a month ago and most of my grafts have fallen out (which I know is normal), but also some of my natural hairs have fallen out, and even though my doctor said that’s normal and that sometimes it happens, I am starting to freak out, mostly because I now have more bald spots on my eyebrows than before the treatment. I wonder if it would be ok to wear bangs for a while until my eyebrow hairs grow back?
