Microblading Advice Please

Hi,
Had my eyebrows microbladed 4 weeks ago. Overall I'm happy with the result, but just have a couple of wonderings...
There is a bit of difference in shape between the two sides, one has a slightly more defined arch. I know the old 'they should be sisters not twins' thing but I would prefer them to be as symmetrical as possible.
Also, there are a few gaps on each side, like where a hairstroke should be but isn't, if that makes sense? Maybe 3 or 4 examples of this on each side.
Does this all sound normal/ reasonable? I'm hoping these things will be corrected at the top-up appointment?
I think my worries are coming from the fact that my appointment ended up taking 1.5 hours and I was originally told it would be almost double that. I'm not sure if it was a bit rushed? Or again if that sounds about right?
Any help/ advice appreciated, thank you x

there is some eyebrows subreddits you could check out and post pictures

I think this is pretty normal - I was advised that you may get small gaps where the pigment isn’t fully retained - just normal variation. This is why you have a follow up - I’ve had mine done and the follow-up treatment just tweaked things where I had a couple of gaps etc.

@VelvetVoice thank you, never used Reddit before but will have a look.

@Wiennetta thank you. Do you think she'll be able to alter the shape a bit at the touch up too?

You'll likely lose the odd stroke at the start, but she'll put them all back at the top up and I'm sure she can alter the shape a little too if you point out exactly where you want it. Three hours sounds very long - mine took about an hour and 40 minutes.

I had mine redone on Friday so I still look like Angry Birds today, but they'll calm down soon enough 😁

@SocksAndTheCity thank you. I suppose I just need to make sure I'm completely happy before I leave that top-up appointment...
