It's been over two weeks since I started the removal process and all of the intial thick scabs have fallen off! I did lose some lashes in the process though, nothing crazy. There is some secondary scabbing that may remove some more color. Otherwise, there is a quite a difference in the appearance of the liner. Only one part really bothers me and its on my right eye where the liner came further down on my inner eye. I am probably the only one that notices it though.

Almost two weeks post removal
So the lady that did my permanent make up said she would refund my money. I didn't ask her to, but it is nice she is going to. She said she's never had anyone complain about it before and I find that hard to believe. As for the healing, I only have one section left that has a thick scab on it. The scab is kind of hanging off but is hidden by my eyelashes. I don't want to pull it off, although it is very annoying. Other scabs that have come off were stuck in my lashes and ending up pulling lashes off with them. I bought some lash serum that had really good reviews from Amazon to help them grow back. I am a little disappointed with the results so far but didn't expect a miracle. I can't decide if I will go in for another removal because it is very expensive and very painful. I recently moved back home after finishing a masters degree and been trying to save money, so I've feel like I am being counterproductive. There are secondary scabs and it is possible for more pigment to come off. In two weeks I am meeting with the removal tech again to see what we should do next. I will add an updated photo once the last thick scab falls off and I don't have mascara on.

Wow, you sound so reasonable; you are not freaking out at all. I think I would be way more upset at the outcome to have such a procedure done and then immediately reverse it. Bravo to you for your clear headedness! I hope you have a great outcome! Thank you so much for the information! The places that do these procedures never reveal this perspective!

Thanks! I've tried to be positive about it because being negative won't change my situation!

I got permanent eyeliner in the 90s and I am sure things are different now, but my skin eventually absorbed the ink completely. I had it reapplied once, but the same thing happened. You would never guess that I ever had it done. I don't imagine that you want it all to disappear (especially by absorption! ) but I hope that only the right amount is removed and you you still have the benefit of permanent eyeliner. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes!

How long did it take for your skin to absorb it? Thanks for your input! I'm happier with it now and I'm sure it'll keep fading like you said yours did, just a matter of time!

As I recall, it had faded enough that I had it redone after about 6 months. Then it was completely gone within a year after that. I'm glad you're happier now and I hope your eyeliner stabilizes just the way you want it!

Some of the scabs have fallen off and I am pleased so far with the results. The outer part of my left eye looks almost like no liner was ever on it! The inner part of my right eye (which the part that bothered me the most) has faded significantly and I will most likely need another treatment there. Or I may just cover it with makeup and save the money and pain because it isn't terrible! I didn't wear mascara at all last week so apologies the update photo has mascara. Some of my lashes came off with the scab on my inner eye, so it's a little bare but you can see it has faded significantly.

Wow yes it has really worked to fade it. That's amazing! Boy, you persevered through the swelling and everything! Yeah if it's not bad, at this point, maybe just let it fade and wear regular make up. That's awesome.
