Hair Loss After Mammaplasty

I had a reduction mammaplasty under general anaesthesia for 6 hours in early June. In early October, my hair suddenly started to fall out more at first and only got worse till now (24th December). Could this be TE? How long is this expected to last?

I am aware that some patients report diffuse hair loss after a major surgery. If it is telogen effluvium, then it may take 6 to 12 months to recover. However, I have often noticed that many patients do not fully recover (or regrow) all of their hair. It is my general advice that one gets a good physical examination by their physician to rule out other causes of hair loss as well.

I realize you (like many others) are looking for answers on the Internet, but I doubt you will find it… even here on BaldingBlog. This may be a good place to start, but as you explore the web you will be lost and confused, possibly ending up in a well-designed website promising you a cure for just three easy payments of only $19.95 (as an example). As I stated many times, seek out your medical issues with your doctor, one on one.
