Facelift and anesthesia. Does local anesthesia cause profuse hair loss? Is this a side effect of general anesthesia?

DNE
Recently, I had to undergo a procedure where general anesthesia was used. It caused profuse hair loss and I'm afraid of any future surgeries as a result. Does local anesthesia cause the same problem? Is this a side effect of general anesthesia or any kind including local?
