browless

Better! I’m roughly 3.5 months post-transplant and they have finally sprouted new growth. The pinkness is minimal now and the bumps are pretty much gone. The new growth is somewhat sporadic so I dare not go without the brow powder. It’s easier for me to apply the powder because at least I can see a template now, whereas before the procedure I was drawing them on blindly without a single hair. I do hope they thicken A LOT. I’m hopeful and progress has certainly been made. Have trimmed a few that were the front-runners but haven’t had enough growth for a full “cut” yet. I’m happy with the angle they are coming in too. Most are flush as opposed to growing straight out like I’ve seen in some photos of other people. Good luck to you!

I am using brow powder, as suggested by my surgeon, and it definitely helps. You mentioned something to "eat" in your previous response to me....was that a typo? Or is there some type of food that expedites hair growth? I am female, 53 years old. Thanks!

Thank you for such a quick reply! Yes, all hairs that have shed are transplanted ones. I may have lost a few "natural" ones too, but there really weren't many natural hairs AT ALL, so it's hard to tell. I've been in touch with my surgeon and have sent photos each week to ensure progress is normal. Surgeon has been awesome, responding immediately and answering all my questions. He reassured me that everything is normal, and on track. I trust him. It's just hard to deal with because this is on the face and you can't really hide it. Plus, until the hairs start to grow back, there is the anxiety of being that one patient who for some odd reason, doesn't get any grafts that survive. Unless you've suffered without eyebrows and have had to painstakingly draw them on every single day for the past 20 years, nobody would understand this angst.

Wow! Nice results and the natural brow pattern was followed exactly. I hope once my eyebrow transplants start growing back, I have positive results too. Just had FUE (from scalp) done one month ago; 250 grafts each brow. I'm in the shedding phase still and I'm hoping this is the worse phase with appearance. Have pinkness and discoloration with some bumps too. Nothing completely outrageous but enough to make me very self-conscious and insecure. I figure nothing could be worse than having basically ZERO eyebrows like I had prior to procedure. Any input or reassurance would be appreciated. I'm 54 years old, female.

I am new to this forum and just had an eyebrow transplant done a month ago. My brows were basically non-existent. I had FUE done, 250 grafts in each brow. Your story is very enlightening for me. I see your procedure was done 3 years ago. How are your eyebrows now?? I am in the shedding phase; I'd say 80-90% have shed, and have a lot of pinkness on my skin. (Some bumps and slight pitting too.) I have a fair complexion and have sensitive skin. I know I need to be patient but gosh, this is on the FACE and it's very disturbing for me. I would love to know if you are happy with your eyebrows now. Thanks!
