The name "embroidered brows" aptly describes the technique, which resembles embroidery. It involves tattooing the brow shape and injecting pigment approximately 0.2-0.3cm into the subcutaneous tissue. This causes the pigment to adhere to the skin, ensuring long-lasting color retention for cosmetic enhancement. Compared to traditional eyebrow tattooing, it differs significantly in method, tools, and results.
What are the contraindications for eyebrow tattooing and embroidery? Experts note that eyebrow tattooing is a cosmetic surgical procedure with the following contraindications:
(1) Individuals with infections such as boils or folliculitis on the face or eyebrow area.
(2) Those with eyebrow area lesions, including hemangiomas, sebaceous cysts, or seborrheic dermatitis.
(3) Individuals with keloid-prone skin.
(4) Those with mental or neurological disorders, or unrealistic/excessively high expectations for post-procedure results.
(5) Individuals allergic to permanent makeup pigments.
(6) Patients with blood disorders like hemophilia or thrombocytopenia.
(7) Individuals with infectious diseases like hepatitis B should avoid eyebrow tattooing to prevent cross-infection.
(8) Those with congenital or acquired ptosis (drooping eyelid) are contraindicated for eyebrow tattooing. The affected side's eyebrow position is often higher than the unaffected side, making precise eyebrow design challenging and frequently leading to unsatisfactory results.
