Guest guest Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I am almost 4 months out of surgery and I just noticed this starting about 3-4 weeks ago.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 About 2-3 mos. out for me. Start taking your Biotin now. It won't stop the hair loss, but it will help with regrowth of the new stuff.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 For me it was a gradual loss, not clumps coming out. I think it started around 6-8 mos. (I think). It's still growing back in after 2 yrs. post op. I have extensions in my hair because of thin hair anyway, and when they are removed and maintenance beauty appts., I look like I have kitten fuzz on my head. Part of that is from wearing extensions anyway, and part of that is from overall loss. Of course, aging causes hair loss and I'm an older gal (but younger looking thanks to my fabulous cosmetic surgeon in Bend, Oregon - Dr. Gallagher - shameless plug, sorry). Anyway, it's different for everyone. My hair did NOT grow back in curly as some people's do/did, though. It does have a more wiry texture, though, but that's cause I'm naturally gray/white hair (since my 20's, it's a genetic thing), so there is more " texture " now. Whatever, I use a flat iron and create beachy waves on the extensions and it all blends pretty well. So, more info than you needed, but that's my story. > > For those of you who have lost hair as a result of their sleeve: > > About how soon did you start to lose hair? > > -Debbi > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 For me, hairloss didn't start until 6 months and it still continues at 9 months. I do have new growth and the loss seems to be slowing down but still happening.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hi Everyone. I am14 months out and still losing hair. I have had some growth but i have to wear hair pieces. I had such fine hair and always kept it short, now its just easier to put a hair piece on. Does it get better?

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 For me it was about 3 months after surgery and it came back about 8 months after surgery. I promise it does come back, Hugs, Suzanne In a message dated 10/10/2011 9:50:25 A.M.
