Follow-up Question: Hairloss immediately after surgery with androgenic alopecia, will it get better or will it just get worse?

Asked By:Glk15 in Lake Oswego, OR

I was diagnosed with androgenic alopecia in April. I got the first three PRP treatments in April may and June and stopped shedding was beginning to see good results in August. Then I had surgery two weeks ago (breast redo surgery with implant exchange and lift, lipo of abdomen back flanks and arms fat grafting to butt--approx.6 hr procedure) immediately after I noticed my hair shedding again, and it had continued to do so. Will this get better or worse as effluviums aren't for 3 mo typically?
