Hi everyone!
Wanted to update you all on what my brows are looking like after almost a year and a half.
I took pictures in different lighting so you can really see what they look like!
I never fill in my brows anymore! I will fill them in when i’m doing a makeup look but I just add to the shape of them, nothing crazy or dramatic.
I sleep with clear brow gel on almost every night - I find that it helps keep a good shape to them even when I don’t have brow gel on. When I first got my eyebrows done I slept with a headband around my brows to help with the direction of growth for two months or so, but it wasn’t extremely necessary at all. Just wanted to get the best results I could possibly get! My surgeon recommended it in the beginning.
I like to keep my brow hairs rather long. I usually will trim them once a week. I think the longest i’ve let them grow out for was probably a little over a week and a half, maybe two weeks. They get REALLY long but honestly I don’t mind it at all! It’s nice because if I accidentally cut too much they grow really fast, so if I make a mistake they will grow out within two days. I still experiment with the length and shape of them and so far it’s been super easy maintenance.
I got the brow procedure done in December of 2016. Five days later, all the grafts fell out (grafts only). All that was left was my original brow shape. After two and a half months, I started to see growth. About 4 months after the procedure, my brow hairs were completely grown in. None of them have ever fallen out and only a few (maybe four or five hairs) grew straight out. I don’t even pluck those hairs that grow straight out, I just cut them down to the skin. I never pluck, wax or thread my brows. All I do is cut them and put clear brow gel on (I use the clear brow gel from MAC cosmetics. best brow gel by a landslide).
My advice to anybody who is thinking about getting their eyebrows done is please please choose your surgeon wisely and don’t try to score a deal or look for the lowest price. This is on your face forever and it’s one of the most challenging procedures to get right esthetically. Brows frame your entire face so it’s extremely important to look for the best surgeon and ask lots of questions.
If you have any questions definitely leave them down below!! x

You're brows look amazing! Such a great result. How was Dr Champagne (and his office/team) like to work with in terms of bedside manner? And did they show you many before and afters of his other patients?
I'm based in Sydney and am thinking of travelling over to the US for a brow transplant. I've had remote consults with a couple of surgeons over there but as well as finding someone super skilled I also want/need a surgeon who is caring and has great bedside manner. I've never had any kind of cosmetic procedures done before (not even injectables) so to say I am nervous would be an understatement!

Omg I feel you 100000%!!! This is the only cosmetic procedure I’ve ever done and before my consultation I was soooo nervous and literally had millions of questions. The office staff is sooo sweet and the girls who work the front desk are angels.
When I went into the consultation, because Dr.Champagne works with Dr.Diamond at the Diamond Face Institute, I was expecting to feel really rushed because they’re both extremely well known (Dr.Diamond is Kim Kardashians surgeon) but I felt so comfortable with Dr. Champagne and he sat with me for over an hour, maybe almost two, and answered every single question that I had and I never felt like I was being rushed, or got the feeling that he was ready to wrap it up.
Dr.Champagne actually didn’t show me a lot of before and after photos because around the time that I got my brows done, it was something that not a lot of people knew about and a lot of his patients and clients didn’t consent to having their photograph taken for various privacy related reasons.
Even though I really only saw one before and after photo, I wasn’t worried or phased by that at all - that’s how much I trusted Dr.Champagne. I just knew I was in good hands. He wasn’t trying to sell anything to me or bribe me into getting the procedure and didn’t make me feel like I HAD to go through with it. He listened to everything I was concerned about and really cared for what I had to say.
A couple weeks after my consultation I was on set for work and out of the blue I started freaking out over a random thought I had about my eyebrows and I tried to call him right away. Somehow through trying to get the office phone number via Google, I accidentally called his personal cell phone and he picked up and was like “This is Jason?” and I was like OMG i’m so sorry!!!!!! what the heck I don’t even know how I got your cell number! And he laughed and asked what was going on and listened to my concerns again about my brows and was soooo nice and understanding. He assured me that everything was going to be okay and that it was going to turn out amazing. I really appreciated him taking the time to answer more questions despite me calling his cell on accident!!!
The day of the procedure, the nurses brought me into their in-house operating room and gave me a Valium pill to take and had me wait 30 min for it to start taking effect. During the procedure I was awake the entire time (they don’t put you under because it’s a really easy procedure) and I still felt very comfortable and at ease. I couldn’t feel anything after they gave me my numbing shots around my brow area and in the back of my head and even after the procedure was done and I went home I wasn’t ever in pain!! I barely even bruised, I had one bruise on the top of my eye and minor swelling. The next day I went in for a check up and went back in a few months later, then after that, I went in 6 months later.
A little side note, I actually met Dr.Champagne’s fiancé because I helped film a little interview about my experience and she is SO sweet. such a sweetheart!!! During the interview she told me that she’s a photographer and we actually shot together a week after we met!
If you Google “Dr.Champagne Beverly Hills” and go on his website you can actually see my before and after photos! You can also find him on Instagram @drjasonchampagne and see some before and after pix there as well.
Moral of the story, it was a wonderful experience and Dr.Champagne and his staff had outstanding bedside manner!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed reply to me! So great to hear that Dr Champagne and his staff looked after you so well - it's so helpful! As is hearing how smooth the whole experience was. Really appreciate it!

I'm thinking of doing the same (I'm based in Melbourne). I don't see anyone based in Australia who rivals this surgeon's skill. I've never had cosmetic surgery either. Do you approximately how much it would cost? I'm nervous going to another country for a procedure, especially considering the fact I doubt travel insurance would pay if something went wrong, although I guess it's a pretty straight forward procedure.

Do the hair follicles that were transplanted to the eyebrow grow real long hairs?
UPDATED FROM RSMember3185
5 months post
FINAL RESULTS
RSMember3185May 2, 2017
I think the final results speak for themselves! The grafts fell out about 7 days after I got the procedure done. I started seeing results in March but only a few hairs here and there. By the beginning of april, the brows hairs were coming in FULL FORCE. It's like I looked in the mirror one day and had to do a double take OMG! But seriously, it turned out flawlessly. I am so grateful for Dr. Champagne for the absolutely seemless experience from start to finish.
I know a lot of you were confused because I updated you guys and said all my grafts fell out - the new hairs fall out about a week after the procedure and that's to be expected 100% But after 2-3 months they grow back and after about 4 months they are completely grown in!! Another question I got on the forum was "how does the doctor ensure that all the hairs grow in the same direction as all your natural hairs??" Dr. Champagne makes the incisions for all the new grafts to go into and once he gets the new grafts into the incision he just made, he twists and turns the hairs while they are in their new spot to make sure they are curved in the direction that your natural hairs are going. It's a true art form. Any doctor can do this procedure, but it takes a very talented and skilled doctor to place them and turn them just right so it looks totally natural and flush with all your other natural hairs.
This is truly a life changing procedure and I encourage everyone out there to get this done if you are thinking about doing this! But seriously, don't go to just any doctor. Go to Dr.Champagne and you'll thank me later!!!

Oh my gosh. You look amazing. I also plucked my brows out on the outer halves. I am tired of pencils and cannot do microblading. I chose a NYC surgeon and feel happy with the excited feelings. One question: the maintenance and trimming. What's it like?

Where is the hair from?
April 29, 2018
Dr. Champagne took a small section (about two inches) from the back of my head.

Your eye brows look great. I had the procedure done twice and still not impressed with the results. Bummer seeing that it did hurt and hair was taken out. I always wonder if all my hair was utilized. Your DR. did a great job.

You had originally posted a price of $2500 procedure. Its the price the still the same?

Do you have pictures of how it looks now?
Do you think there is a way to train the straight hairs?
Why did you sleep on the couch? I mean, is there a problem with sleeping in the bed after the procedure?
And when did you start with the headband and which did you use? Are there any other ideas about how to keep them laying on the skin?
Thanks!
