Go to a really good makeup tattoo artist. They will fix it with feathering and you won't be able to tell. DO NOT go to a regular tattoo place - they do not use the right types of inks. It will fade over time, but you can get it redone.
Another beauty here with a former messed up eye brow.
I wouldn't consider myself a beauty, but I really prized my eyebrows. Two weeks ago, I fell and punctured my left eyebrow which required stitches. Now that it is heal, stitches remove, I have a patch of bare skin. The bare skin isn't even clear, but there's like an indention *not too concern about pink skin*, but it's darken. And it's in the inner part of my eyebrow, the outer part would had look better.. People at work tell me "oh it's healed up!" which the black/blue eye didn't bother me because I knew that was temporary, but I know I have a scarred eyebrow.
I apply Retin-A/Hydroquinone at night to get the pigmentation to blend, and sunscreen at day.
But I am at lost at words on what to do. I even told my family, I don't see anyone right now, and they told me I am too vain. I took great in my looks, and now my face looks like a scarred cat. It's like even if I was ugly, the patchy eyebrow just distracts people.
I cannot afford eyebrow transplant.
What about using eyebrow pencil? Maybe a well-done tattoo used in combination with eyebrow pencil? I don't know if it is vertical and fairly narrow or runs along with your eyebrow. Don't do anything drastic/permanent too fast - give it time to fully heal...and don't even use makeup on it until the skin is completely unbroken. You could consult with a plastic surgeon and they might recommend non-surgical solutions. Good luck!
I have a sneaking suspicion this is not a real situation because I can't imagine anybody outside of maybe the Kardashians would be so upset over a scar on their eyebrow. I think your issues appear to go much further than your eyebrows. I can't imagine how you would feel if you lost a body part.
Grow your bangs longer and nobody will ever see your eyebrow.
Stop right there lol. I just had a conversation with a close family member and I told her, I rather lose a finger than lose my facial beauty (eyebrow). And she was like, I agree, I am the same way.
There is interesting passage in The Grapes of Wreath by Steinbeck.
It's a story of a one legged prostitute. She was known to charge double what others did and every time someone asked her, how come, she said - You can find a two legged one everywhere for less, sure. But I am the only one.
Point to this is, OP, look at it this way. It actually makes that eyebrow point of interest, of attraction. Special. You know what I mean?

Exactly what I am going to do... thank you. Micro-blading for now... when it heals up.

eyebrow transplant down the road when I can afford it without making me cringe.
Sylvia Vane,
It's your money, so no one's got any business telling you how to spend it. Everyone wastes money and everyone worries about what other people think to a degree and wastes money trying to impress strangers. I feel there is nothing wrong with people doing things to their appearance if it is for the right reasons.
That being said- 2 weeks is a very short time. I assume you are seeing a dermatologist for the retin A. You should talk to them about how much this is bothering you. 2 weeks may not be enough time to do anything with a laser to reduce scarring BUT you don't want to wait because there may be a better topical for you to use or technique like keeping it covered etc to reduce scarring.
Give the dermatologist a call and explain the situation. Worse case situation you probably just need a laser treatment which a dermalologist or plastic surgeon can do.
