3 months - Hair Loss Post-Op

[veryblessed 151]

Hi all, Did anyone have more than normal Hair loss around 3 months post op? I heard does happen. If have, did your hair eventually change back to the way your hair was & if so about how long til you noticed you were losing hair as much? Anything help also? Thanks.

I believe I had more than normal hair loss. I got it around three months then again at 9 months. Mines is still not the same. I had thick hair now it fine and weak. I'm almost 2 yrs out. Everyone experience is different.

I noticed a,significant loss. I'm about 3 months out. Chopped my hair real short to make it look better and not as traumatic with bunches fall out. It literally made me cry at the gym Monday when I was toweling my hair off and a nice bunch of hair fell out. I walked into the salon next door, showed a photo from Pintrest and chop chop my shoulder length hair is a short choppy pixie. There are no bald spots which I am thankful for.

At four months I was shedding like crazy. I'm six months out and it's finally stopped. I had several inches cut and layers added. I started with a lot of hair and it looks ok, but it's not full. I have been taking Biotin since surgery. Also, my hair texture changed... I have curly hair now, before it was wavy.

My hair is falling out by the handful. It's been going on for two weeks now and my hair is so thin now that you can seen my scalp. I went out today and bought a wig to help bridge the gap until it all grows back. I just hope it does grow back. I am 5 months post op.

I'm losing a horrifying amount of hair right now (4 month out). Had my 3 month follow up appt with the surgeon last week, he said it's totally normal and that my hair should grow back thicker than before. Should. Here's hoping for should because right now, I'm afraid to even wash it.
