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

RopMar 18, 2018

I wonder if it would be ok to wear bangs for a while until my eyebrow hairs grow back?

There are laser or electrolysis treatments that can be done to remove the hair, but indentation can sometimes remain from the surgery itself. A doctor would need to see it in person to determine the best course of action for you.

Patients can typically start to note timeframes for their healing and results around 2-4 days after their eyebrow transplant procedure. The itchiness and scabbing develop and fall away around the third to fifth day following this initial period.  At the 8th day post-procedure, this is like...
