What If I Don’t Like My Microblading Shape?

Although getting microbladed eyebrows is an exciting adventure, there are some potential downsides, such as, "What if I don't like my microblading shape?" When thinking about getting semi-permanent makeup, this is a normal concern.

Proper consideration of shape, thickness, and arch is essential while performing microblading, which enhances and defines eyebrows by painstakingly creating strokes that look like hair. 

Personal views and tastes matter a lot, even when accompanied by the competent knowledge of experts. Anyone thinking about getting microblading should know that there are certain concerns about the results. 

To help people make educated decisions and be satisfied with the outcomes, we will examine the microblading procedure, look into the elements that affect the shape, answer frequent fears, and give insights on what to expect.

Cause For Your Microblading To Fade

If unsatisfied with your microblading results, you may return to your old brow style immediately.

To set realistic expectations, know that your brows will naturally fade over time (often within a few weeks and before the Touch-Up / Perfecting Session).

Because your brows will look "thick" and "dark" following your first microblading session, judging their quality in the weeks and days following your appointment is not a good idea. Your new brows will decrease thickness and blackness before your Touch-Up / Perfecting appointment. This is normally rather typical, so there's no need to be worried.

Occasionally, your brow shape might not look good on you, or even worse, your brow artist might have messed up. It might be worth trying to fade your brows fast to get them back to normal if you're still really unhappy with their size, shape, thickness, or colour after giving them enough time to heal and fade (your artist didn't make the brow design you wanted).

Getting advice from your microblading artist beforehand; during the Touch-Up / Perfecting Session, they may be able to address any concerns you may have with your brows. If you no longer have faith in your artist and believe they are incapable, it is advisable to conduct your research, locate another supplier, and seek a second opinion.

If, however, you still aren't satisfied after a few weeks—or even worse, if you despise your new brow and long for the days of your natural brows—then continue reading.

Correcting Poor Microblading: When To Make Changes And When To Take Them Out

The benefits of well-executed microblading are endless. It is a godsend when your artist pulls off flawless brows that look amazing not just when they're freshly drawn on but also six months later and even when they're halfway faded. Give your brows a little TLC once a year, and they'll be perfectly fine.

Microblading is only sometimes a success. Your eyebrows either don't turn out how you envisioned them, or things start to go wrong after a year or two when you see a change in colour or a blurring of the strokes.

Or, the microblading you got is still there!

Bad microblading can lead to the problems above; nonetheless, there's no need to freak out if any sound similar. How do you deal with inaccurate microblading?

What Exactly Do We Mean by Poor Microblading?

Microblading can go wrong in some ways:

• You aren't a fan, and you're beginning to regret your choice.
• You have strikingly uneven eyebrows.
• The microblading on your brows turned out badly. They changed colour as they faded.
• After a while, the strokes became more blended.
• The colours moved away from the intended form.
• The microblading on your eyebrows still looks great after over two years of neglect.

Let's review each case to help you cure your terrible microblading.

First Things First...

A little advice: wait to pass judgment on your microblading until it has healed. You must undergo the full healing procedure before your brows take their ultimate shape. The colour appears too light at first, then too dark, settles after approximately a month, and the shape changes slightly (they may decrease) as they heal. For some individuals, lighter patches also appear.

You must then obtain the obligatory touch-up. You can expect certain healing-related imperfections with microblading, and we'll repair them at the touch-up. So don't take it personally if they appear.

Now that we've given you our word that microblading is safe, here are some things to remember in case any possible negative outcomes leave you unsatisfied.

Problem 1– You Are Dissatisfied With Your Microblading

You were excited about getting microblading done to thicken your arches and enhance your brows, but you're not delighted after the procedure. You feel disappointed since the form doesn't match your expectations.

Solution – Removal In An Emergency

Emergency saline / glycolic acid removal is available within 48 hours of the surgery if you decide you despise your brows to the point where you can't stand to be seen without them.

Solution – Wait

An initial unfavourable impression of a brow tattoo is typical. Altering the shape of one's eyebrows can have a dramatic effect on one's overall facial appearance. When your eyebrows are noticeably thicker and more defined than normal, seeing such a dramatic transformation might be shocking. 

Allow yourself some time to recover from the first shock of seeing this. Give your new brows a chance to grow on you, and reevaluate them after a few weeks.

Solution – Removal

You can get microblading removed if you've tried to adjust to them but haven't had any luck.

Problem 2 – Asymmetric Brows

After patiently enduring the healing period, you saw that your brows had healed unevenly. They were already somewhat off, or one of them shrank even more.

Solution – Correction

Have your artist level out the arches by scheduling a touch-up. By adding a few more strokes here and there, they can change the form of either brow.

Problem 3 – Your Brows Have Developed A Bad Microblading Colour

After healing, your brows took on a colour that wasn't your original choice, or they changed once the fading process began.

Solution – Correction

Get the colour refreshed by finding an artist proficient in colour correction and understanding PMU colour theory. 

Problem 4 – The Strokes Merged And Blurred

The sharpness and definition of the strokes diminish with time, whether it's a few months or years of microblading maintenance. They became one shade, giving the impression that your brows were powdered.

Solution – Cover Up With Correction

You can apply new PMU over very faded strokes with very light shadows. New strokes won't look nice overshadow, so you probably won't be able to get them alone. Fortunately, options like powder, microshading, or combination brows are available.

Solution –Lightening Or Complete Removal

You won't be able to apply the new PMU over a completely opaque shadow. You will likely need some pigment removed from your skin before you can undergo correction, as it is likely that your skin is overly pigmented.

Problem 5 – Pigments Have Moved

In rare cases, this may occur if the artist's technique needs to improve or your skin tends to be oily. You end up with unruly brows since the pigments ooze from the first outline.

Solution – Partial Removal

If your brows are generally in good shape and the main concern is a small region where pigment has migrated, you can have just that area treated.

Problem 6 – Though Your Microblading Should Have Faded, It Hasn't

Incorrect microblading methods, such as implanting pigments too deeply into the skin, might cause microblading not to fade. Another red flag would be if tattoo ink were used. 

The problem is that microblading becomes unsightly when it doesn't fade properly. The pigments change colour, the strokes blend, and it likely doesn't look good—rather than progressively losing intensity till they disappear.

Solution – Cover Up With Correction

Shading can hide bad microblading if it's faded enough. Instead of microblading, you'll look like you're wearing brow cosmetics.

Solution – Removing Or Lightening

Dark, noticeable pigment residues indicate that your skin is likely overpigmented and will require extraction of some pigment before new PMU can be applied.

How To Fix Microblading That You Hate

The outcomes could have met your expectations. It is possible, indeed. However, keep in mind that you are attempting to secure the services of a new microblading artist:

• Microblading is a process that comprises numerous steps, so it's important to keep that in mind before jumping to conclusions.
• Consequently, it is typical to notice substantial changes right from the start. In this regard, it is important to remember that the texture and tone will change during the healing process, starting from the beginning and ending with clear results.

Thus, a strict hygiene regimen is essential as part of the care provided after therapy. Nevertheless, adhere to these guidelines if your microblading needs to be more clearly adequate or if the outcomes do not satisfy your expectations for various causes.  

Become Familiar With The Details

The effects of microblading might change depending on factors such as pigment quality, age, skin type, and the skill of the semi-permanent tattoo artist. For this reason, it's crucial to seek out specialised artists to conduct the study above and grasp the client's requirements, thereby displaying competence and expertise right from the start.  

Determine The Issue

After the brows have healed, if they still don't look good, look closely at the design, colour, and volume to determine what went wrong. 

• Eyebrow design: It is feasible to fix the form. Once the mending process is finished, the design can be redone using the current strokes. If a prior microblading causes distress, we are discussing a coverage for which your viewpoint will be considered. To lessen the impact of the first strokes, we can make the lines thicker or thinner as you choose. For instance, you can adjust the shade of your eyebrows to suit your needs.
• Shade: There is an obvious tint issue with brows that turn out blue, purple, or red. Specialised pigment-removing solutions, laser treatment, or microneedles are employed to address this issue. Here, the gravity of the case is the determining factor. 
• You don't like them: It is feasible to erase a tattoo using the correct methods if you simply want a different design; however, you will need to wait for the skin to fully regenerate before finding an appropriate artist to attempt something new in the area. 

Conclusion

Microblading brows can be an exhilarating experience, but there are some drawbacks to the treatment. When performing microblading, which improves and defines brows by producing hairlike strokes, shape, thickness, and arch are all important considerations. Even with expert information, personal opinions and preferences are important.

If you are dissatisfied with the microblading results, it is crucial to have realistic expectations and understand that brows will naturally fade over time. If you are still unsatisfied with your brow form, or if your brow artist made a mistake, it may be worthwhile to try to fade them rapidly to restore them to normal.

To correct improper microblading, wait for the brows to heal before making any adjustments or removing them. Microblading may cause healing-related flaws, which can be addressed during a touch-up.

The material addresses a variety of microblading concerns, such as asymmetric brows, poor colour, merged and blurred strokes, partial removal, improper microblading techniques, and over pigmentation. It emphasises the significance of knowing the process and obtaining the assistance of a trained artist.

To correct a brow that does not meet expectations, analyse the design, colour, and volume of the brows. If your brows have healed unevenly, you can fix them by scheduling touch-ups. If the brows have established a terrible colour, they can be corrected by locating an artist who is skilled at colour correction and understands PMU theory.

If the strokes have combined and blurred, add new PMU over faded strokes with bright shadows. However, pigment reduction may be required because the skin is likely highly pigmented.

If the pigments have shifted, partial removal is possible if the brows are in good form and only a tiny area is of concern. If the pigments have not faded sufficiently, removal or lightening may be required.

Finally, the literature offers a complete guide to resolving microblading concerns, emphasising the significance of knowing the process and seeking the assistance of a trained artist.
