I am wondering if anyone has tried or had success with warding off hair loss with Rogaine. Haven't found it mentioned anywhere, just talk of Biotin, Zinc, etc.

I would of looked into Rogaine if I thought it would help. But I have a thing about putting unnecessary chemicals into my body and Rogaine is one of them. I do take biotin and silica and my hair loss have stopped and my hair is about 2 inches long in new hair growth. I'm 7 months out. so the hair will grow back. If I was losing my hair because of a pattern of baldness in my family and I didn't have this surgery, I might consider taking it. But why spend the $ on Rogaine if the hair loss was due to surgery and will grow back? It's kind of like a waste of $. Just my opinion.

I think the rogaine would work fine, but once you stop using it the hair may fall out again... I would reccommend letting your body do it's thing... I lost hair from 4 months to 7 months post op (quite a bit), now I am back to normal like nothing ever happened!
