Help! My Brows Seem Too Thick!

ORIGINAL POST

I am on day 3 of my post microblading procedure...

I am on day 3 of my post microblading procedure and I am freaking out! The procedure itself was great, but I am worried about the darkness and thickness of my brows. From what I've researched and learned from my technician, I know the color will fade. But how much will the thickness shrink?? My tech reassured me that they will shrink, but I'd like to know from someone who has gone through the process about how much do they actually shrink? 5%, 10%, 25%??? Luckily I am a teacher and can manage to stay home over the summer while I heal, but I can imagine having to go out in public looking like this...

I don't have an answer for you, but I think they look great! I go to get mine done tomorrow evening, and I'm nervous about how they'll look during the healing process. You give me hope :) Keep us posted

I had my procedure done on April 12 and when I walked out wow they were thick and dark after a few days they seem to get darker, the thickness was the same, in my experience once I reached the scabbing phase I noticed they lightened up a lot and shrunk due to the scabs falling off, after that its almost like they disappeared, not completely, but they sure didn't look the same. I wouldn't worry, give yourself time, your not even in the scabbing phase of this process, you may see a big difference after that. 3 weeks go had my 2nd session, I was totally happy with my results after this 2nd session, but because I have pretty oily skin I will be having another session in August, this was expected, its hard for the pigment to hold due to oily skin, no biggie not everyone has the same results, its a long process and I get that the waiting for your end results can be stressing, but it is a 2 step procedure (sometimes more) Don't panic, follow the after care steps and let them brows heal! Good Luck!

i came here to say almost exactly what you said - great explanation, and you're very kind to be so reassuring. ;)

Don't worry, they shrink almost half. And about color, I was freaking out about darkness as well but that pigment on your eyebrows. It will
Peel off with dead skin when they heal. I'm now missing them being that dark.

Day 8

My brows have lightened up ALOT! Thank goodness! I am now starting to see some areas where I will need a touch up and some adjustment to the shape as they look uneven to me. If you are currently on day 2 hang in there! It does get better, much better.

In your first post the one photo you had sans microblading your brows were noticeably very light. I think the procedure you had has been an improvement.

They look really nice on day 8, big improvement !

Thank you! I have the same problem you had and I am on day 2... It's a struggle, every time I look past a mirror I gasp in shock because my eyebrows are ridiculously thick. They look real, but they're just SO thick, I feel like a clown! Your post helped me a lot and I'm trying really hard to stay positive and trying to get to at least day 5 before letting myself REALLY freak out ~_~.

Don't worry, they will look so much better around day 6. I'm very happy with my brows now, I just wake up, put on a little mascara, and I'm good to Go! Hang in there!

Would you say yours reduced a lot in size? the thing I'm most concerned with is the size... she made my eyebrows rather large
July 19, 2017
Yes, they shrunk quite a bit. Give it another week and they will look dramatically different

I'm on day 3 and trying to keep it together. Thanks for sharing.
