Tired of Doing my Eyebrows Every Day - Mexico, MX

5 years after my procedure I find myself still using a eyebrow pencil every morning. I think my eyebrow is better than when it was before the procedure but I recognize it is not effort free. I have to be on top of my eyebrows very often to keep them tidy and since I'm still missing hair, when I go to the beach, I use a semi-permanent dye to help with this.
One thing that was very concerning to me was that even after 3 years of the procedure, I kept developing small abscesses at the start of my eyebrows, as a result of implanted hair in that section (I clearly told them I didn't want any additional hair there!) where my skin is very delicate. After waiting and pulling the hair out with tweezers (which make the thing worse), and trying the creams they recommended; I got tired of their approach at the situation and I decided to give the tria a try and get rid of the implants in this area. I was extremely careful with my approach and I'm very glad it worked out! I probably killed a few of my own hairs as well but at least I don't have those nasty abscesses anymore, nor hair where I didn't want it to begin with, and my skin is back to normal.
So, I guess these are things to consider when contemplating going forward with the procedure.
1. Results will vary
2. You will have to be on top of your eyebrows to keep them tidy
3. Select a dr. that does the procedure from start to end and listens to what you want and make sure has a clear understanding of your needs. Check their previous jobs, reviews, etc.

Are you happy with your doctor ?

No, I'm not happy with the doctor who did the procedure.

Hi, thanks for the update. Your brows look amazing based on the pictures. I'm just curious what you don't like about the transplant? Does it not look like natural eyebrow hair because the head hair is thicker? Is there an issue with softness and of hairs growing straight out? I have scarring and I am seriously considering covering bald patches with a transplant, but I worry I'll have an unnatural look because the hair is different. Can you just detail what you like and don't like about your brows now?

I don't like that I still have to use eyebrow pencils to cover empty spots but I like that the empty spots are not as big as they used to be.
I don't like how they hairs stick out and grow so long and fast, and I have to be on top of my brow, otherwise it gets out of control.
The hair itself feels natural, it is not hard, feels just like normal hair. I always pluck the hairs that stick out though. And some hairs do look thicker to me, so if those are in visible spots I just pluck it.
Sometimes I'm happy I did it, some other times I'm not. But one thing for sure is that I'm not happy with WHO did it. So please please please be very selective on who you choose so you get better results. Make sure whomever is doing it understand your needs and what you want exactly.

Thanks for the reply, a good surgeon is soo important. I have talked with a few surgeons- some say they do the whole procedure, others say that they make the recipient sites but have a tech place the hairs in. Any advice on how you can tell if you have an experienced surgeon?

Thanks for your review. I had two eyebrow transplantations but my hairs really stick out so much that people have been asking me what the hell I did with my eyebrows. Do you have any idea how to make them lay on the skin instead of sticking out? It really makes me so conscious about them the whole time, and it affects me psychologically :(

Can you recommend a doctor since you said that you would recommend yours?

Final steps

Im pretty much in the final stage for the hair transplant and I feel good about it. Im not 100? satisfy with the results; more likely a 92? or so because i think there are some things that should have been handled differently. Anyway, i feel happy with my eyebrow. There are some small spots that doesnt have any hair but with a tiny bit of makeup I end up with a magnificent eyebrow. I could go and fix those spots but Im not sure I want to go through that process again. Besides, I have had lots of complements about my eyebrow from random people on the streets, so, that says a lot about it right? And for the price.... That was the best of it. The picture shows my eyebrow as is, without any make up on it nor anything else, just out of the shower. I do have to trim the hair from time to time and to use gel to keep the hair in place. What I love most about it, is that I cant go running and/or swimming and still look Nice! Not like before that i used to end up without eyebrow, truly horrible. I do recommend to go for this procedure, but check the design prior to it, so your recoveey process is as smoothest as possible.

They looks so great! I'm super jealous and wish my transplant would've ended up this solid.

They look really good, very natural!

I think they looks absolutely gorgeous... I would give this doctor 100%... I am also looking at getting an eyebrow hair transplant. I had them tattooed and they look unnatural...

Mine too and I loss some hair trying to remove some pigment. :(

ok SO i got an eyebrow transplant a year and a half ago and i feel like my eye brow hairs are still very wiry and i have to gel them every day. I get them threaded once every other week which makes a difference but how is the texture of yours?
December 6, 2016
I think is more or less the same as yours. The only difference is that I don't use gel to keep the hairs in place. I only use scissors to keep it short and to try to maintain the eyebrow shape that I want. But I'm losing hair on one of the eyebrows, i need to go to the clinic and get that checked.
December 6, 2016
mine look awesome after they are freshly threaded like its the results i want but they still stick out. do some of yours stick out? about half of mine stick straight out but keeping them short helps.
December 6, 2016
Yes, some of my hairs stick out. And same, keeping it short definitely helps.
December 6, 2016
ok that makes me feel better b/c yours look amazing in the picture

It's going to be 3 months now since the procedure. I soon will be able to be under the sun. Because all of this time I've been taking care of sunlight because it can damage the follicles. Anyway, I think I have less hair now but I do hope it will re-growth. So far I still feel better than before doing the eyebrow transplant. Even though hair is still missing, I have more than before.
