I think we all go through some degree of hair loss. My hair is so thick I'm told that it's not noticeable. But my hair stylist did suggest I go with a shorter hairstyle to help with the hair loss. At my worst I think I lost a handful a day, but my hair is very thick and has to be thinned out with each hair cut. I personally dunno if the biotin helped, I tried it for a month and saw no change in my hair loss.

I've already lost a large patch of hair where my Bi-pap touches me head when I sleep. I don't wanna be balled

It kinda looks like a barber made a mistake but they didn't haha

From what I'm told that kind of balding is unusual. I'd talk to the surgeon's office abt it. But only time will heal it.

@@GAWildKat that's what I am going to do tomorrow is reach out to my doctor and ask him.

I started taking Biotin and Silica months prior to my surgery and in the last couple week (3 months post-op), I just started losing hair. I am fortunate to have alot of hair, but the thought still freaks me out. When I get out of the shower, the drain is literally plugged, so I hope this phase don't last long!

It is odd that yours all came out in the same spot, so that would make me want to ask my surgeon. Good luck and keep us posted if you find any answers.

When I went in for my last apt there was a woman there who had a large round patch of hair missing on the back of her head so I don't think it's too rare.

Mine is thinning out mostly in the front. I hate it. I already had a big forehead and thin hair. Now I feel like I have male pattern baldness. post-260260-14430621302819_thumb.jpg
