Hair Loss 2 Months After Surgery Normal?

Hair loss is not uncommon following facial rejuvenation
surgery. It can be the result of general
anesthesia or the stress of the surgical procedure. In the vast majority of cases hair loss is a
transient phenomena and resolves with time. Occasionally, it can be permanent and requires secondary treatment. Hair
loss may also be associated with scarring. This may occur for a variety of reason including tension on the wound
closure, use of the cautery and thinning of skin flaps.A
variety of options exist for treating permanent hair loss following facial
rejuvenation surgery. These include
surgical scar revision, hair transplantation and the use of Rogaine. The
majority of the patients are happy with their surgical result even when hair
loss occurs. In most cases, scars and
hair loss can be easily hidden. When
hair loss is visible, secondary procedures may be necessary and in most cases,
solves the problem.

This can occur and happens from the trauma of the surgery. Rogaine works very well for "shock" hair loss.

Thank you for your question. It is not uncommon to see some temporary thinning after a facelift. Your hair follicles can go into shock, spit their hair out to conserve energy, then regrow a hair over time. The length of time for regrowth varies. Topical Rogaine , injections of PRP and low level light therapy can help.
Best wishes.

Congratulations on your "wonderful facelift'! The hair loss may be a function of the "shock" that the hair follicles underwent due to the surgery, scarring and anesthesia.
Be patient and do as much as much as you can to help the long-term healing process. I would recommend several suggestions:
1) Vitamedica Vitamins (AM & PM)
2)Nutrafol - designed to help hair growth
3) massage - gentle to help with increased vascularization
If hair loss is at the incision line, then the scar and the associated alopecia (hair loss) can be excised and repaired without tension on the suture line. Try the first three...Good luck! 

Hair loss after facial surgery is possible but not common. Direct injury to the follicles, scarring, decreased blood supply, and anesthesia are all known to be potential contributing factors. Be sure to discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Rogaine, other topical treatments, and PRP injections could all be helpful to speed the recovery process.
All the best,

Hair loss that occurs months after your surgery is probably not associated with your surgery. It may be caused by something else. 

In general, hair loss after surgery is not associated with the operative procedure unless there are other factors involved such as a browlift which can cause transient alopecia.

   The hair loss can occur from a variety of causes, but if this hairloss was not the result of direct damage to the hair follicles during surgery there is a good chance of regrowth.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

If you had general anesthesia then it is possible that the anesthetic is contributing to your hair loss.  This is one of the many reasons we prefer to use IV sedation for face lifts instead of general anesthesia

i agree that hairloss can occur. especially in the scalp or just from the anaesthesia or physical stress of surgery.

the hair will usually grow back over several months. rogain and vitain supplements can help
