Title: Eyebrow threading after FFS
Post by: Clefairy on December 20, 2017, 12:47:00 AM
How long should I wait before I get my brows threaded? Any ideas?

I made a huge mistake and plucked out all of the whiskers that grew in on my chin and face on day 13 of recovery. I'm only about 50% through my electro. My chin and jaw had been looking great--swelling was way down. They ballooned up all over again. Im worried I might have caused some damage :c

Any thoughts?

I started doing my eyebrows 2 months after my FFS. As soon as the incisions are healed you can resume hair removal.

At first I was waxing, then later on, I discovered threading.

Threading is the best. Bleh. Do you think it would be unsafe to have someone thread them now? Now that I have a new face, I'm not sure how to shape them anymore. I really want to see how a professional would do it given their new location on my face. I'm really torn right now about trying.

Threading requires the customer to hold and somewhat stretch the eyebrow while the beautician applies the thread to your eyebrows. Threading is best to have someone do it to you and not try it yourself.

Threading is quick and does not cost that much. You only need to thread once a month or so depending on your hair growth. In south Miami, I pay $14 and I give the girl a $6 tip. They know me now and I always get a good result.

I would call your surgeon's office and ask about your eyebrows, as for the swelling mine went up and down for the first month and a half after mine in October so I would not worry to much but again call and ask your surgeon's office about that as well that is what they are there for and more than likely they have heard it before and will tell you not to worry

i had my brows plucked and tinted after 2 weeks and waxed again after 5 weeks.. the plucking after 2 weeks was a minimal ammount of hairs and it felt strange since it was still a bit numb in the area. but it was fine and surgeon was ok with it.
