I just got the eyebrow transplant 2 days ago. I looked into tattoo first but was very doubtful about it as I've seen people with it and I don't like it very much, also I think tattoo makes you look a bit older. So one of my girlfriends told me about the eyebrow implant and I started a super fast and quick research and decided to go for it! As I'm a sporty girl I really wanted to do this because when I'm exercising I sweat and the make up on the brows doesn't look nice when you are all sweaty, or it just simple fades, also when on the beach. So I really wanted to have real hair to be able to, for example, grab water and rub my face after a run, which I do very frequently.
Anyway, I did this in Monterrey, Mexico (I have family there) . At a Kaloni center. I have to say I'm not 100% satisfy yet, I guess I will have to wait to see how things evolve. They do treat you really nice and with lots of respect, they are very friendly, but I don't know, I feel there's a sense of quality or commitment missing.
After the procedure I can tell you that I'm happy that the the missing part of my eyebrows is cover by hair now, which is great. What I can't understand is why the dr doing my procedure did a horrible job at the eyebrow start. When I saw me in the mirror I said, Oh my god, why do I have too much hair over here? he said i could remove it with tweezers later, but what's the point of placing some hair that you will be removing after??? Doesn't make much of sense to me. I think the idea should be to do the less of damage as possible right?
So I went home with something that for me was a bad eyebrow design, and I've been at home ever since the procedure cause I don't want people to see me with this eyebrow I currently have. And yesterday I truly was super stressed, looking at the eyebrows every 10 minutes as expecting something to get better. But on the contrary, I look even worse because of the swelling, I have lots of swelling.
And I keep asking myself did the doctor do such a bad design. Why didn't he place some lines or something to help him with the design, i just don't get it. I've been thinking that maybe If the design was better, I could be able to stand this a little better.
So, if you do this, make sure you get a good design cause otherwise you will end up with horrible eyebrows for a while. And paint some guidelines, spend lots of time drawing lines with the doctor before you jump into the procedure in hopes they will understand what you are expecting. If it weren't for the crappy design I think I would be able to go out 5 days after the procedure. But like this, no, I will stay at home until the red marks and scabs fade.
Other than that I'm happy with the eyebrow. I will need to shape it once the swelling goes down and the scabs fall down. I just want time to pass by and see the results. What's done is done and we will have to wait to see. But gladly, I'm more relaxed now and I'm taking things better. The worst to happen is to get my old eyebrow which wasn't that bad after all.
Oh, and about the back of my head, everything ok with that. I did had some bleeding but its under control now. We used the FUE extraction, which is by single follicle. My scalp does itches but I restrain myself from touching it. And my hair cover this area pretty well. I cant wait for the hair to grow!
And about the swelling, looks like its progressing fast. The only problem I see is that I will not be swollen but will not be able to go out anyway because of the ugly eyebrow design I have. I have to wear a fake bang or hat and sunglasses every time I want to go out. Which I mostly avoid. Again, I cant wait for the time to pass and get a beautiful eyebrow. Will post more pictures of the following days.

3rd day after transplant

Things are evolving and I feel better, more relaxed. I'm still anxious about trimming my eyebrows and see final results. In the morning I was really swollen but I applied ice and by night it was definitively better. I still have purple marks under my eyes, but that will fade away too. I'm wearing bangs and sunglasses to go out, I think I will be able to leave my sunglasses at home from now on. Which is cool cause I looked really bad at night and with sunglasses on. I definitely feel more confident of myself today.

getting better
SportyDMarch 20, 2016
I've completed 12 days since my procedure and things are improving. Looks like I'm going to end up with good results. The scabs started falling off by day 7 until day 10. I still have red skin on the eyebrow area, I was told the red should fade in a week or so.

Thank you for sharing! It looks good!

It only cost 700.00 dollars???? Wow. I am going in for a consult in the states and it is 6500.00 dollars. Hmmm.

Yeah! Sometimes it's better to travel to Mexico and get it done there. Even with travel expenses and all it's cheaper than in the states. Just do a good research of the place you are planning to go to. I did at Kaloni as I was told, by someone I trust, it was the best place to get hair transplant. So far I think it has been good. The staff has been super nice to me. I was really frustrated right after the procedure but as one of my GFs said: if there's something you don't like about your new eyebrow you can always fix it with a pair tweezers. That is so true. But anyway, the other plus of doing it in Mexico, is that you get to travel (in my case I visited family and friends, mostly family when I was all swollen LOL). Check your options and do the math.

Have you tweezed any hairs? Or is this the way its growing? Cos it actually seems to look pretty good as is
March 23, 2016
I've cut some of the hairs with scissors, only the hair at my eyebrow start. I'm not allowed to use tweezers yet, until April 8th. The rest of the hair is untouched. And I really like how it's looking. I hope it stays on!
Oh! and I've been using Avene Thermal Spring Water, lots of it. It has helped me a lot in the recovery and to keep the skin clean and moisturized.

Looking really good! I didn't think they looked bad to begin with, but now--wow. They make your eyes look even prettier.

Hi, first of all thanks for posting your experience, it is very valuable for other people, as me since I am very interested in doing this procedure. I have to say that your eyebrows looks very nice in day 10, it seems that you could fade out the beginning of the eyebrows that you did not like in the first days, so how do you did it? did you have to remove some of the new hairs or, did it reshaped naturally? Thanks and congrats for the result

Hi, I haven't post any more pictures because I feel it still looks the same as in day 10. Skin is still a bit red, more likely brownish color due to its initial irritation. So skin hasn't recovered yet. As the brownish color is on the eyebrow area, you can't tell that the skin is still damaged. People usually thinks I'm wearing eyebrow shadow =)
As the implanted hairs are growing I'm continuously cropping them (lol), but that's better than having no eyebrow. And now I wake up and do nothing, and I love that. The first thing I used to do waking up was doing my brows. Not anymore!!!
I've also removed some of the hairs at the eyebrow start, just a few, like truly 1.5 millimeters of hair on each side. And at this area I do have to put some concealer to hide the brownish skin.
But everybody has complimented my brows. So I'm pretty much happy so far.
