My hair is not liking me right now, I am one week post op and within hours of taking a shower my hair is greasy. In the past when I would get build up I would wash my hair and then do a rinse with apple cider vinegar and it was fine. That did NOTHING!

Any suggestions?

Can't help with the hair but just wanted to say congratulations on the surgery !

Thanks Kate!

I had this too! Both my hair and skin were super greasy starting the day after the surgery. Literally I would wash my hair in the morning and by 4pm it looked like it hadn't been washed in a week. Also I had mildly dry skin going into surgery due to recent weather change but all of of a sudden my skin was oily. The first week was the worst and now I am a little over 4 weeks post surgery and it is almost gone - no dry skin - but hair and skin seem to have normalized. I mentioned to my surgeon at my 1 week post op and she was not concerned - basically saying your body is releasing fat cells through your pores - it will balance out. The first couple weeks I used Nutragena shampoo to really strip the excess oils out daily - now I only use once a week

I have never had acne while growing up. Now at 29, I am getting pimples all over my face and I don't know how to handle them. My hair was very oily to begin with but now it's even more greasy. I figured it was because before I cut it, it was longer so the oil distributed and was less noticeable than now that it's short.. I guess not..

I am now almost one week postop and the oil has almost been dripping off my hair and skin. My hair is so greasy even after i wash it. Aswell as my skin. I need to start changing my skincare products as i always had very dehydrated skin.
