After Eyebrow Transplant Can I Shave Some of the Implanted Hair to Help Shape it?

Several weeks after surgery, once all the scabs and crusts are gone, my patients are instructed that it is okay to gently trim the hair. Even then, it is important not to pull at the hairs due to the remote risk of removing or traumatizing the follicle. Each surgeon has their own post-operative instructions, so be sure to discuss any post-surgical concerns with your doctor.
All the best,

Ask your doctor for guidance. You can probably trim hairs after your surgery. It is best to clear this with your doctor.

For now, I would recommend using cosmetic scissors to groom the implanted hair and the surrounding hairs. As time goes on, you will have more freedom to groom the new growth with the method of your choosing—such as shaving. Of course, you’ll want to maximize the cosmetic appearance of your eyebrows, since that was the purpose of getting the procedure done in the first place! However, if there’s ever anything you aren’t sure about, consult your surgeon for advice since he/she knows your case best

 

Shaving eyebrow transplanted hair can be done without problem. The hair direction however was set by the angle at which it was placed and won't be altered by combing, etc.

I would not shave the hair but I would consider trimming carefully with small scissors as you would not want to damage your grafts.

Once the hair has grown in after hair transplant you are free to groom it in any way you choose to improve the appearance.  This includes clipping or even shaving.  This is one of the advantages of hair transplantation over other options.

 

You certainly can shave and shape your transplanted eyebrow hairs, but I would wait about two weeks to let the grafts settle and heal.  

Be sure to check in with your hair transplant surgeon before doing anything.

Yes, you can trim your eyebrow hair transplant as they do grow long and always need trimming. Go for it!

You may clip the ends of the transplanted hair if they are too long, however you have to be very careful not to pull the grafts.

Once the hair starts growing in 3-6 months, you may periodically trim the hair, since the transplanted hair will continue to grow like your hair.
