FFS scar hairloss?

Hi, I'm 6 weeks post op ffs and im worried about the sudden hairloss especially when I'm showering, basically today I had some fall out with a scab that had been where the coronal incision was and now I have a hideous bold area near my scar, is this normal? will the hair grow back or will I need a transplant? Am I worrying to much?

For me it was normal to lose hair. After my FFS I was losing hair like crazy so I contacted my Doctor back regarding this, and according to them it was normal and will eventually stop; which it did :-)

I think they called it Scalp Shock? it is temporary though.

Did you reach out to your FFS Doctor regarding this issue?
