Why Are My Brows Unbalanced?

Symmetry

One of the main factors is natural facial asymmetry. It's a common misconception that our faces are perfectly symmetrical. In reality, slight differences exist between the left and right sides of everyone’s face, including the eyebrows. When a microblading technician works on your brows, they follow the natural shape and arch of your eyebrows. If there is any pre-existing asymmetry, it might be subtly reflected in the microbladed brows. The aim is to create the most natural-looking eyebrows, which can include some degree of asymmetry.

Healing

Another possible reason for the imbalance is the healing process. Following a microblading procedure, the healing period may involve some scabbing, flaking, or lightening of the pigment which can temporarily make the brows appear uneven. This is a natural part of the healing process and usually temporary. After your brows have fully healed, which typically takes around 4-6 weeks, a touch-up session can be scheduled to fill in any areas where the pigment may not have held as well, thus restoring the balance.

Skin Condition

Lastly, the condition of your skin at the time of the procedure could impact the outcome. If your skin is not in a suitable condition – for instance, if some parts are more sensitive and bleed more during the procedure – it might affect how evenly the pigment is implanted, resulting in some unevenness.

Conclusion

In conclusion, if you notice an imbalance in your brows after microblading, don't panic. This could be due to natural face asymmetry, the healing process, or the condition of your skin. You can always discuss any concerns with your technician, who can make necessary adjustments during the touch-up session. Remember, the goal is to create the most natural-looking brows possible, and sometimes, that includes a little bit of imperfection.
