At the end of my microblading appointment, when I took the first glimpse of my brows in a mirror I almost cried right there. They were HUGE! I felt that they were so much bigger than what I had agreed to when we consulted and the Brow tech drew them out for me to approve. I paid and left the studio in a bit of shock. When I got home I started immediately researching ways to reverse the procedure and couldn’t really find anything. I started texting with my brow tech and she encouraged me to just stick to the after-care procedure. She assured me that my brows were swollen and the size would go down.
I did not sleep a wink that night. I was so mad at myself for “paying someone to ruin my face”. I was having borderline panic attacks. Of course over the next 4-5 days they just kept getting darker - I was aware this was supposed to happen but it was still hard to watch.
I cannot emphasize enough how upset I was!
Now...all that to say: after about 3 weeks I actually started liking them. The swelling DID go down as promised and they lightened significantly. I’m posting my story in case there is someone out there right now having a Microblading Panick Attack and searching the internet for hope. I was so sure that I was going to have to get bangs or wear a hat all the time. Emotionally I was in a terrible place at first. Seriously though, just give it time and follow your after-care instructions.
If you chose an experienced, highly trained, reputable brow artist, you likely will end up loving your brows. And on that topic: Do NOT get this done by someone who is inexperienced. Always check reviews and before and after pics.
