I just had hairline lowering surgery. My hair is falling out, leaving bald patches. Some hair is also very "wirey?" Shock loss?

Is this shock loss? I also noticed after surgery that some of my hairs were very wirey and curly, unlike my natural hair. These hairs seem to be falling out the most. What exactly is going on? How long will it take for my hair to grow back? Thanks!
