Best thing I’ve ever done! Beverly Hills, CA

I plucked my eyebrows to oblivion in high school and about 50% of hair just never grew back. The shape was still there, but they were so asymmetrical and sparse. It bummed me out for so many years, I was ready to take a risk and get this procedure done. Everything about this experience was a dream. Dr. Champagne answered every single question I had. Asked me all the time if he answered all the questions I had, because trust me, I had ****A LOT**** of questions! I was just so nervous because for me, it was a big risk. I actually had second thoughts a week or so after my consultation (before I ever scheduled an apt.) and wanted to call Dr. Champagne to ask him one or two questions. He called me back right away and reassured me about everything I was worried about.
The consultation was $150, which went towards my procedure. I made the appointment with the ladies up at the front of the office (who are all angels by the way) after the consultation was over and I was excited! The consultation was probably about 45 min to an hour. Dr. Champagne was absolutely in no rush to see anyone else and he gave his full and undivided attention to me and any questions I had. I had a pre-op appointment two days before the day of the procedure where he gave me a prescription list I needed to fill (Antibiotics, pain medication, anti-anxiety, and an over the counter antibiotic ointment)
The day of the procedure I came in and he had me draw in my brows exactly like how I like to fill them in. Next he gave me the antibiotic and anti anxiety medication to take at the same time. We waited about 30 minutes for the anti anxiety to kick in and began the procedure!
The first thing he did was gave me some numbing shots in the back of my head. Not that bad, to be honest! Next came the shots in my brows. OUCH. Those were really uncomfortable, but bearable. After that, I did not feel an ounce of pain! No pain at all, no exaggeration.
Once the numbing kicked in, he began to take the small strip from the back of my head. I was very overwhelmed by everything that was going on and started to get very light headed and faint. I am 100% sure this was because I don't take any medication whatsoever, and the anti anxiety medication was very strong. The faint feeling only lasted about 5 minutes and I just made sure to breathe and sip on some water. Once the strip was removed, he began to stitch it up. About 12 stitches.
After the strip was taken from the back of my head, three other ladies began working away at separating the hairs one by one while Dr.Champagne made the tiny incisions. Dr.Champagne works with a wonderful lady who places the hairs in the incisions he's made and she works very carefully and really pays attention to every little detail.
It took about 4 hours, maybe 4.5 hours? Went by fast.
I was literally in so much shock!!! I have photos of what my face looked like **THE DAY OF** literally an hour or two after the procedure and I could of gone out in public if I really wanted to!! The swelling went down so fast the first day and I only had one tiny bruise on my right eyelid. That night I slept on my couch with a neck pillow and slept great!
The next morning I had a follow up with Dr. Champagne - He said none of the hairs got displaced in my sleep and it looked great! He asked me if I was in pain at all because he told me that I might experience some throbbing pain on the back of my head and my eyebrows but to be completely honest, I was not in any pain! He showed my boyfriend how to apply the antibiotic ointment and after that I was out of there! I see him in five days to get my stitches out.
It's been three days since the procedure and swelling has gone down 95% - My red bruise on my eyelid will probably be gone in 4 days. I take an antibiotic three times a day and apply antibiotic ointment to the back of my head once a day. I haven't showered or washed my face since then because I'm not allowed to get the grafts wet at all, however In a few days I will be able to - I could probably shower tomorrow if I wanted to, I just wouldn't be able to wash my face or get the grafts wet. I still sleep on the couch with a neck pillow and I probably will sleep on the couch for another 4 days just to be safe. I'm also in no pain.
No grafts have fallen out yet, but I know they will in about a week or so. No big deal. The scabs are so incredibly small, I don't think anybody would even notice that I had anything done to my face.
I hope I didn't miss anything!

Hi everyone! I'm thinking of doing a Youtube video about my whole experience .... so let me know if you want to see that... It's been three weeks since my procedure and 100% of the grafts have fallen out. I was already so used to my new full brows I was bummed but i know that they will grow back. I read one of the comments and someone said that my experience sounds too good to be true - the reason for that is because I had about 250-300 grafts put in total. I was only looking to correct my brows, not to enhance them. That's also why the cost of my procedure was only $2800. And on top of that, I went to the best surgeon you could go to, period. Just look up "dr.champagne los angeles" or "diamond institute los angeles" and give them a call. I was NOT paid to post this review, nor am I affiliated with dr.champagne in any way... I WISH i was paid! that would of been great..... I'm also posting more photos of what they looked like right before all the grafts fell out and what my brows look like now. My brows look like how they did before I got them done. only the grafts that they put in fell out and none of my natural hairs fell out from shock. I'm expecting to update again at the end of february.
