Desperate 47 year old female. Update and pictures hair loss after forehead reduction surgery.

Question

I'm not getting answers from my doctor. I had surgery June 17. I'm terrified I'm going bald. I've been using Rogaine for 4weeks. It's irritating my scalp so much that I'm thinking about stopping. Is this shock loss? Is their a doctor willing to have a phone consultation?

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

If you have post operative issues, it is important that you contact your doctor.  Shock hair loss is a complication after forehead reduction surgery.  Scalp irritation is a side effect of Rogaine.  You need to go to your doctor and address these issues.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

First, you must go back to your doctor and have a face to face discussion of your fears, any problems you are having. There is no substitute to confronting your doctor with a direct discussion of the above. A second opinion may have value for you, but an internet opinion is not as good as a face to face second opinion. If you are worried about further hair loss, get to your doctor ASAP or a second face to face consultation with another doctor.
