Will hard crying and no sleep affect my eyebrow transplant?

annalambaSep 30, 2018
I had an eyebrow transplant 5 days ago and two days ago (3 days out) I cried really hard for about 20 minutes. It’s a very stressful time right now in my personal life. I also haven’t been sleeping much. Today they seem to look pretty normal and it might be in my head but they might be sticking straight out more than when I first walked out after the procedure. Just wondering if the hard crying and no sleep now will affect the follicle growth amount or angle in a few months.

In regards to your eyebrow hair restoration I would seek a consult with a board certified surgeon who has experience and success with hair transplantation. Getting injectables such as Botox/Filler will not cause any reactions to your eyebrows.Best,Dr. Anil Shah, MD FACS

You can harvest hair from the almost anywhere on your body but it will leave a scar.  So if you harvest eyebrow hair from your eyebrows you risk having an unsightly scar from where the hairs were harvested.
