So almost none of the transplanted hairs to the eyebrows grew. Maybe 10 that grow quite long and I have to trim. The fue method was used on my eyebrows and my temples. My temples started to grow at three months. I went to a different surgeon and had my eyebrows done again using the strip method, very conservatively with a nice design, mostly to just cover some of the residual scarring that was left behind at the heads of my brows from the original procedure.
That being said reveert added more grafts to my temples that I requested in order to lower my hairline abit. Approximately 700 grafts at no charge using the due method which did succeed in this area. They offered to do the eyebrows again at no charge, but I chose to go somewhere with a higher chance of success after my horrible experience with the eyebrow transplants. Provided these hairs grow in nicely I am happy with how they handled my poor outcome.

NOT WORTH IT

Not a single hair growing, micro scar texture and colour to transplanted area creates ugly shadows in certain lights. Very unhappy with outcome, time, cost and additional procedures that will be required to repair scars. Going to try fraxel restore, and beam laser. Most likely have to carefully repeat some transplanted hairs to cover scars with experienced Dr in Canada in the future. Its been 6 months not a single hair in the eyebrow region has grown. BOTCHED.

Hello. I am sorry for your disappointing results. I am just curious as to why you chose to have this procedure done in Mexico instead of Canada? Have you contacted the surgeon who performed your surgery? Did the surgeon harvest all the grafts himself or have an assistant do it? From what I understand, FUE is not as reliable as FUT (strip method). FUE has a greater potential for follicular damage than FUT. The grafts are finer with less tissue protection and therefore more susceptible to trauma, and there is a potential for less yield. If the grafts were damaged prior to being transplanted, this could explain why you haven't had any growth. I had this procedure done 7 weeks ago and all the doctors using the FUT method. I am already starting to see some hairs starting to grow. I would recommend contacting Dr. Wong of Hasson & Wong (Vancouver) or Dr. Rahal (Ottawa) for a second opinion. They have both done a lot of eyebrow transplants with consistent results. They also do repair work. Good luck.

Sorry for the late reply, haven't been on here. I went to mexico, because I saw video's and reviews of them doing this procedure and got my temples done at the same time, which succeeded and started to grow within 3 months. I am going to go and see Dr Wong in Vancouver and see if a small amount of grafts can be placed at the heads of the brows, where still at 8 months not a single hair has sprouted. I only want to cover the irregular texture/ scarring left from the microinciscions, which are subtle, but noticeable in certain lighting casting a shadow that I don't care for. I am also considering skin needling and fraxel restore to improve the rough texture left at the site.

Did you only have hair implanted at the heads of your eyebrows? If not, did the hair grow on the rest of your brow? Be very careful with fraxel. I have read a lot of horror storries on here about it actually making skin texture worse. It burns little mirco holes into your skin in a grid pattern and in some people this becomes permanent. Definitely read some of the reviews on here about textural changes from fraxel laser before getting anything done as the last thing you want to do is make it worse. I think your best option would be to re-do the transplant with another doctor.

Nothing has changed since my last update. My surgeon sent me some cream for healing. It has done nothing. Also suggested massage which has also done nothing.

This is quite sad. I am booked to do this procedure soon and your experience is in the back of my mind. I really hate to say it, but based on what you are describing, this seems to be a botched job by your doctor. :( You got this done in Mexico (the country) right?
