Will Hair Loss From Anesthesia Grow Back?

Undergoing surgery can be a transformative experience; however, some individuals might encounter an unexpected side effect—hair loss. You’re not alone if you’ve noticed a thinning mane after a surgical procedure. In this blog, Dr. Heil discusses the intricacies of anesthesia-induced hair loss and the Center for Hair Restoration’s innovative solutions for restoring your crowning glory.

What You Need to Know About Hair Loss From Anesthesia

The stress of surgery and anesthesia can cause telogen effluvium, in which a larger-than-normal proportion of hair follicles enter the resting phase of the hair growth cycle, leading to increased shedding.

But does hair loss from anesthesia grow back? Here’s what you need to know:

Yes, in most cases, hair loss from anesthesia is temporary, and the hair will grow back!
Once the body fully recovers from the stress of surgery and anesthesia, the hair growth cycle typically returns to normal, and the hair shed during the telogen effluvium phase will gradually regrow.
It’s essential to be patient, as hair regrowth may take several months to become noticeable. To reiterate, hair regrowth may be slower or less robust than before, but for most individuals, the hair loss is temporary, and the hair will eventually return to its pre-surgery state.
