Future Hair loss restoration and how effective is hair transplant surgery?

We Answered:

my teacher just explained the transplant our class and it has good results depending on you health, such as stress in your life and things of that sort, but the hair is taken from the occipital area of the head (around the sides and back nape area) which is where hair will always grow for men, the hair growth takes about 4 months and she said the new transplanted hair falls out and regrows permanently. Lots of famous men have it done and you can't even tell.

How long till hair loss from surgery stress reverses?

We Answered:

Yes the stress of the surgery and/or anesthesia can disrupt the hair growth cycle causing hair loss. Usually it is temporary and reversible as long as the body adjusts to the disturbance fairly quickly. How soon the hair growth cycle repairs depends on other factors such as how well the healing/recovery process is going, the overall physical and emotional health of the individual, adequate nutrition to support recovery etc. Extra nutritional support could be helpful. Normally the shedding begins to taper off and normal growth resumes within 6-9 months after surgery. Essential oil scalp massage is an excellent hair growth stimulator that may help repair the growth cycle sooner.
I would not use dyes or other harsh chemicals while your hair is in this weakened fragile stage.

Hair loss?

We Answered:

There are many causes of hair loss: genetics, old age, medications, stress, and your health. I had a client once that always stressed out about losing her hair, I told her to stop stressing about it, it's making her lose more! Also her diet was awful! She ate rice and eggs mostly. Also a good fact to know is: you lose approx. 100 strands of hair every day! I hope this helps! Good luck!

Hair loss from weight loss surgery, any shampoos that can help?

We Answered:

No. Hair products will not cause hair to either stop falling out or to start growing. These products address the already grown hair, not where it grows from. However you may try minoxidil (branded as Rogaine). It typically takes months to show growth improvement, but in your case it may stop the hair loss nearly immediately. Then, when you are able to intake the protein you need, you can stop using it.

Hair loss after galbladder surgery?

We Answered:

Don't worry this is very common.
The emergency operation put your body through a great trauma.
After my galbladder operation - planned not emergency, my hair thinned
until I was almost bald at the crown. It took about a year to return to normal
and I have had no problems since.
good luck

Hair loss after gastric bypass surgery?

We Answered:

What you describe is called "Telogen Effluvium". Telogen effluvium is when a stress (such as dieting/weight change) causes noticeable shedding of hair after the stressful event. The hair loss is always delayed, usually 3 to 4 months after the "stressful event".

The event can be a physical stress such as an illness (especially with a fever), sudden weight changes (the most common), or a major surgical procedure like gastric bypass surgery. Sudden severe emotional stress can also trigger telogen effluvium, including the death of a loved one, a divorce, or a job termination.

It's all about something called "Transition to Resting Phase". In telogen effluvium, the stressful event causes a high proportion of hair follicles to halt their growth phase prematurely, and to begin a transition to the resting phase at the same time. 3 to 4 months after the stressful event, a high proportion of follicles shed their hairs all at about the same time, as they prepare for a new cycle of growth.

The condition is almost always temporary, and new hairs soon grow back in. Within a few more months the normal random cycle of hair follicle growth and rest resumes. Treatment for telogen effluvium includes waiting for the new hairs to grow in, and styling to give a fuller look in the meantime. Make sure your diet is TRULY TOTALLY sugar free. Sugar greatly exacerbates the condition. It also helps to do the following:

* Up your protein by 15% each day over whatever levels you've been eating.
* Make SURE you are taking in at least 1500 calories per day.
* Drink LOTS of water. 64 ounces is a minimum per day.
* Take your supplements! At a minimum, you should be taking:
o A good multivitamin with NO iron
o CoEnzyme Q10 - 75-150 mg per day.
o Acetyl L-Carnitine - 1000 mg per day
o A good Essential Fatty Acids supplement if you don't
eat some form of salmon, tuna, or olive oil every day.

Hope all of this is of some help. I know it feels scary, but it's not as abnormal as it may seem.
