Quick question, if hair loss is likely, how long after the op is it likely to happen?
It starts 3 to 4 months after surgery and can go on for a few months (like 3 or 4). The good news is it does grow back and sometimes thicker. I keep looking at my balding spots looking for little hairs but I'm only a month in to my hair loss phase so maybe it is too soon.
I had hair loss starting about 3 months out - it stopped about 5 months out - I can also see a lot of new short hairs growing in- whew! My hair was fairly thick to begin with - but that was no consolation when my hair was falling out in clumps I did not take anything special for it vitamin wise - I think it just has to run its course.
I thought I was going to miss the hair loss but mine started at about 4 months out. I hadn't been as good with vitamins and protein so have been focusing on that more. There's no actual scientific evidence that biotin helps, just anecdotal so not sure that's worth it. I'm now at 6 months and have noticed it's not as bad as it was but it's still more than pre-op.
