Eyebrow Implants Growing in Wrong Direction, How Can I Fix This?

August 21, 2012
Asked By:Scarlett123

I had FUE eyebrow implants 12weeks ago to add another 50% to the hairs that were already there.Approx 40% of the hairs that have grown through are now growing away from my face instead of in the direction of my eyebrows.I have thick hair so not only that but they have to be trimmed to a few mm's in length every few days as they grow so fast & stand out even more.My Dr says not to worry and just to wait up to a year but I dont see how this will change, 90% of the implanted hairs are through now.
