  1. Despite taking biotin and B-12 since June of 2015, it has finally happened to me! 10 months post op and I am seeing hair breakage around my temples and frontal scalp. Isn't this a bit late for hair breakage? I was expecting it around 3 to 6 months not 10 months post op. Veterans, how long did it take for you to go through this phase before hair started to grow back?

      Is it hair breakage or are you seeing the regrowth from your previous hair loss? My hair goddess says the regrowth part is almost as annoying as the losing part because of all those short, new hairs growing in all over the place :) I shampooed today and my hair loss is finally slowing, at 5 mos, so I should start seeing those short babies soon!

      I am seeing short hairs but do not believe it is regrowth. I feel it is my hair breaking. If it is regrowth I never noticed that I was losing hair before. Hope you haven't lost too much hair and if so, it comes back quickly.

      I don't think hair breaking is a typical side effect from surgery. The normal side effect is hair completely falling out from the root, not breaking, and not 10 months post op. My guess is that you have something going on that is probably unrelated to your surgery. If I were in your shoes, I would start with asking my hairdresser, PCP, and dermatologist. Good luck!
