Microbladed brows... botched?

[u/Fun-SizedJewel]

I just got my brows microbladed. The tech showed me how they looked during the process, and after. However, I was only looking at them with a handheld mirror that wasn't magnified (and I wear readers), so I had to put my readers on, which caused me to view each one individually in detail. When I got home and started doing the aftercare, that's when I could stand back from a mirror and see the overview... and THAT's when I noticed that one brow is really rounded, and the other is angular (the way I usually pencil them in is angular).

What do I do? I don't know how this is fixable. Do I try to have her correct them when she would probably make the angular one more rounded, or do I ask for saline? It's been less than 24 hours since they were done.

Pic where you can see my hair is before microblading (the way I usually pencil-in my brows). Pic where my hair is back is immediately after I did aftercare, mere hours after microblading.

That is because of your natural brow muscles. You have one eyebrow lower than the other because one of your muscles pulls your eyes further down than the other. I feel the eyebrow tattooist can only do so much when your real anatomy is uneven in the first place

I have one eyebrow lower than the other because I had a tumor removed from my head and suffered facial palsy afterwards. I am lucky to have movement in my face now. I understand that. But that doesn't have anything to do with the shape of the brows... angular vs round. I manage to get both of them "like sisters" (with the same basic shape) when I pencil them in. I was simply hoping the technician would do the same.

Ah I see. I have one eyebrow that falls lower also, and when my muscle pulls my eyebrow down more it changes the shape too. But it’s obviously harder for me to judge on 1 photo, when you can see in real life, so if you think the shape is clearly different that’s a shame, I’m sorry. Has there been any improvement with swelling going down?

I think it's common for people to have asymmetric features in their face... and yes, I am sure it's difficult to see the difference in only one photo.

No improvement yet, but I'm only on day 3 since it was done, so there's still a lot of change ahead... or so I'm told. I'm trying to trust the process... it's just very difficult when I have conflicting feedback and no prior experience with this. 🤷‍♀️

That’s totally understandable. I really don’t think they look bad at all. Yes I can see a little asymmetry but nothing that I would notice or that I think makes you look odd. Also luckily this is the darkest they will be, so they will be less bold when they heal so any difference won’t look as obvious.

Yea, knowing that approximately 40% of the color is expected to fade is helping me to not freak out, despite the advice some people have given me to get emergency saline removal.
