aelovelady 243 Posted January 21, 2015 I take Biotin, which helps with hair and nails. I am 3 months postop and habent had any problems! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
esskay77 785 Posted January 21, 2015 I also suggest taking Biotin. Especially for your hair as it will start to thin a bit (or it possibly could). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djmohr 6,965 Posted January 21, 2015 I have been experiencing loss of hair and cracking nails. The Hair loss is much more significant than the nail issue. I started taking Biotin about two weeks ago. The way I understand this works is that it does not stop the hair loss but helps with regrowth and healthy hair, skin and nails. The good news is I am Italian and was blessed with a very think head of hair. It does not come out in Patches but falls out from everywhere so no bald spots. I had plenty to lose to begin with but hope it stops soon, just because it freaks me out a little. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nellita 25 Posted March 3, 2015 Just the opposite for me, my nails have never been healthier and I am not even able to get in my Vitamins, or Calcium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sporin 40 Posted April 26, 2017 Searched up this thread because I'm experiencing brittle nails more so than I ever did pre-surgery. I'll have to try Biotin I guess. I'm already bald so no clue how it's effecting my hair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
