3.5 months post op Eyebrow transplant, only one brow is growing. Is this normal?

Question

I had an eyebrow transplant about three and a half months ago. The right brow is filing in nicely but the left is barley growing at all. Will it catch up, has this happened to anyone else, help!

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

It may take 6 to 12 months to see complete results.  3.5 month is too early to tell if both your eyebrows will grow equally.

Tim Neavin, MD · Answer

3.5 months is too early to tell what the final result will look like. Often, the transplanted hairs will grow unevenly.  I wouldn't sweat it at this point.

Kapil Dua, MBBS, MS · Answer

Usually, at 3-4 months, the grafts start coming out. So, if on one side, they have started coming, they may even on the other side within a month or so. However, if it does not happen, then it maybe that if the grafts being implanted on the left side got traumatised or dehydrated during the procedure which may lead to the unequal results.

Yes hair growth after a hair transplant may start patchy and uneven. There maybe different rates of growth and healingi would give it another 2-3 months before worrying. Alternatively you could try applying minoxidil in the hope of accelerating the growth

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

If two people were placing the eyebrow hairs at the same time and one was less skilled than the other, then you might see a difference between eyebrows related to the people who placed the grafts. Wait another 2-3 months before drawing any conclusions as the second eyebrow may yet grow.
