Why is my hair falling out after a facelift?

Bebe101010
I want to rephrase a question I had previously asked. So I decided to have my roots dyed the night before my facelift so I wouldn't have to deal with it for a while. Now, the next day, my hair seems to be all breaking off. Could this be from the anesthesia or any solutions that were used? Can this be because I dyed it so close to surgery? My doc said he did have to cut some of my hair near the incision sites, but it seems to be breaking all over/falling out. Help!
