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.

I instruct my patients to resume normal hair care of the eyebrows after a week (7 days) after the procedure, and are encouraged to gently rub off the crusts that remain after 8 days with mild baby shampoo. The hair follicle is intact by that stage and gently rubbing will not cause the hair gr...
