Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for coming to us with your question.

To my knowledge, surgery regardless of the length of time, should not cause hair loss.

Consider speaking with your primary care physician or surgeon if you have experienced hair loss following surgery.

Regards,
Maryann
