Hair Loss & Replacement Blog

I got a boob job 2 months ago. ive always had thick looong dark hair. im only 30.
my hair was mid back in length. 2 weeks ago i saw a bald spot. now i have like 7 large bald patches. my hair has fallen off rapidly and in clumps. went to thyroid dr and regular dr. both did separate blood work. all hormone levels are normal. there is no reason for this. and its not stress. i just had a boob job. i was on cloud 9. i had to cut 5 inches off to take the weight off my hair and try to save as much as i can but i don’t know what else to do. i have new growth coming back but it is growing slower then its fallen. has anyone had any similar reactions after a boob job? and i think i may have gotten knocked up last week so im not sure what meds to take.
i dont remember reading massive hair loss as a side effect.. this was silicone gummybear implants. i cant think of anything else that would cause rapid hair loss other then that at this point.. any suggestions, comments or ideas?

I am a woman and have 2 very large bald spots on each side, at the front of my hair by my forehead. I would like these to be fixed…is there any surgery I can have or hair replacement? Thanks!
well its not so much a bald spot as extreme hair thinning. and it won’t grow back. this has been going on since I was about 10 yrs old and it keeps getting worse! I am not 21 and I want this problem fixed asap! it has significantly dampered my confidence and caused me hundreds, even thousands of dollars on hair products and extensions, etc. I just want to be able to wear my hair back in a pony tail like a normal girl without looking like I have 2 big holes in my head.

He was asked last night about his upcoming plastic surgery. He’s going in to get hair implants for his big bald spot, and weight reduction surgery he said. (Some folks are just so lazy). Well anyway, the reporter asked him about getting botox and his reply was: "Botox? No I don’t need that. I’m Asian, my skin is perfect". He’s got zits all over his mug. And whoever told him that Asians had perfect skin?
"Ugh, I’d be embarrassed if he were my Dad."

Me too lol ! His twin daughter told him last week when he came to pick them up, basically that he looked like a slob in his outfit lol. Dude is too lazy to work out and run and jog like other folks do. He wants a quick easy fix like a lot of Hollywood women do.
"I don’t know, but I think the women who are interested in him must be."

I second that LMAO!

And no one has "perfect" anything. There are millions of people of all races who have too dry or too oily skin or problems with acne and uneven skin tones etc.

In my late 30’s and seem to have a small bald spot on top near forehead
am I going bald? How can I tell? I am taking a hormone replacement.
Would that be the cause of it? What should I do?

my friend has a really big bald spot on the top right side of her head .
and she wants to know if there’s anything she can use to make her
hair grow back . she use to have nice , long and thick hear and now
she has really thin hair and she doesn’t have a lot of it . on the bald
spot section it feels really soft like an old person’s head that has lost
all their hair . she use to wear a lot gel and hairspray so i think she
might have fried her roots but if you know any home remedy’s or products
let me know before she takes extreme measures like hair restoration .

I take levothyroxine, 50mcg, once a day. I have taken it since 2009 (around August) and the hair loss started about 3 months ago (around June or July). It is coming out rapidly, filling up my brush almost daily and it just keeps coming. My thyroid levels are good. I also have Hashimoto’s but my antibody levels are doing okay.

I thought it might be a side effect of the drug, but everything says that would have started around when I started taking the drug and would be temporary. I now have an almost bald spot above my temple, and who knows where else there might be more.

I have tried to take good care of my hair, I take vitamins, I use good conditioner, I only use a wide tooth comb to brush it almost all of the time, I rarely straighten it, I only dye it about 2x a year max if at all, I don’t over wash it, I don’t use hair ties often and when I do I don’t pull my hair tight or use ones with metal pieces. My stylist told me everything I needed to do to help it be healthy and grow longer (preventing breakage) and I have been doing that for over 2 years. My hair was very healthy, and now, even though it still seems healthy, it is falling out at a frightening pace.

I am 24 years old, female, and under no more stress than I have been my whole life. I have no insurance and can’t see a doctor about it at the moment (money is tight, but has been for years, so nothing new for stress there). I don’t have kids.

The only major change in my life is I started on a slightly higher dose birth control (I was on the lowest does available and having breakthrough bleeding, but I’m still on a low dose pill) about 3 months ago. This is the only correlating event and I was told this couldn’t be the cause.

I have no idea why all of a sudden I started losing my hair. Any help? And please don’t just suggest I see a doctor, I can’t afford it. I need some kind of direction. Thanks.
Oh, and my iron levels are great.

I was burned when I was small and there is a section of my hair in the front that doesn’t grow any, the burn left a bald spot there…Is there any medical treatment or surgery I can do in order to get hair back into that location??

I am not completly bald but have a receiding hairline and small bald spot.
