Significant and rapid hair loss after Breast Augmentation. Could this be a side effect of the surgery or anesthesia?

Florida1978
Hello! I had BA surgery (silicone implants) early march of this year - followed by a revision for a hematoma in one breast about a month later. Now at about 3 months post-op, I am experiencing significant and rapid hair loss which does not seem localized to one area. Could this be an effect of my surgery and anesthesia!? I'm following up with my general practitioner for bloodwork as well. Any advice would be so much appreciated. :(
