Post-Surgery Hair Loss Is Real — But You’re Not Alone

Salon Freebird’s Guide to Hair Recovery and Real Solutions in Boulder

If you’ve noticed thinning, shedding, or patchy hair loss after surgery, you're not imagining it—and you’re definitely not alone.

At Salon Freebird in Boulder, we've had more guests than ever come to us after undergoing medical procedures—everything from C-sections to orthopedic surgery to outpatient treatments—wondering:
"Why am I losing my hair?"

The truth is, post-surgery hair loss is incredibly common, and it’s not your fault. And the good news? There are real, beautiful, and natural-looking solutions.

Let’s talk about what’s happening—and how we can help.

💡 Why Does Hair Loss Happen After Surgery?

Hair loss after surgery is most often caused by a condition called telogen effluvium, which may be triggered by:

  • The physical stress of surgery

  • Anesthesia

  • Nutrient depletion during healing

  • Emotional stress before or after your procedure

This causes your hair to shift from the growing phase into the shedding phase—and it can show up 6–12 weeks later. For many, it’s temporary. But even short-term hair loss can feel incredibly frustrating and emotional.
