Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 See your dr -just to be sure, but 2-4 mths (I went early last surg at 2mths but most at 4) pep lose lots of hair,,, anesthesia is what tehy say. Relax should come back in full and regular...but check to be sure there's nothing else going on... mostly--- just try to be cool, stress will not help the situation, so deep breaths in the shower and try to be extra gentle, brush less, no pony tails, don't scrub it in the shower, no rough towel dry...think baby shampoo and gentle touch. You should be ok...I know it's scary, I was worried about mine bec it was " too early " mbut that was my personal schedule...and it's back, full and no one but I ever noticed...well me and my vacuum seriously deep breths and ask your dr and just try and wait it out, usually lasts a few weeks or days....JO In orthognathicsurgerysupport , " corypi5 " <corypi5@y...> wrote: > Hair is falling out by double bucket fulls, and I am being told it > is due to the surgery 4 months ago....is this a bad joke?

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Two suggestions: make sure your nutrition is adequate, and take a good multivitamin, to be doubly sure. And do ask your doc.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 A lot of my hair was falling out too. Seemed like I was losing incredible amounts of hair, but really it was just about double normal. Not noticeable to anyone else (unless they vacuumed) because I had tons of hair to start with. Started at about 3 months. Lasted maybe 3 weeks. Are you back to eating your regular diet? Severe weight loss can cause hair loss, but if its surgery related I dont think theres anything you can do about it now. > Hair is falling out by double bucket fulls, and I am being told it > is due to the surgery 4 months ago....is this a bad joke?
