Can breast augmentation surgery cause hair loss?

September 6, 2014
Asked By:ktags78 in Glasgow, KY

I had breast augmentation surgery almost 2 years ago and since about 3 months post op my hair has been coming out and thinning at quite a fast rate. I was wondering if the hair loss could be connected to my surgery but haven't found any definitive answers anywhere. Any opinions much appreciated thanks
