“…In general, the surgery affects hormonal balance and hair and skin condition [7]. Usually, within the first three months after bariatric surgery, telogen effluvium, a type of a non-cicatricial alopecia that is characterized by increased hair shedding and thinning of hair, occurs abruptly [56]. The mechanisms of telogen effluvium include premature anagen phase interruption, excessive prolongation of the anagen phase, reduced anagen phase duration, and delayed teleptosis [9].…”

Obesity and obesity-related conditions today constitute a public health problem worldwide. Obesity is an “epidemic” chronic disorder, which is defined by the WHO as normal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health. It is also defined for adults as a BMI that is greater than or equal to 30. The most common obesity-related diseases are type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and certain types of cancer. It has been also proven that obesity can have a negative effect on hair. It can lead to hair thinning. Patients with obesity can undergo bariatric surgery if they meet the inclusion criteria. The four common types of weight loss surgery include a duodenal switch with biliopancreatic diversion, laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and sleeve gastrectomy. Bariatric surgery can affect skin and hair and is associated with telogen effluvium due to weight loss, microelement deficiency, anesthesia, low calorie intake, and low protein intake. Patients who undergo bariatric surgery can experience post-bariatric surgery depression. Hair loss can have a major impact on self-esteem, negatively affecting one’s self-image. The purpose of this narrative review is to critically review how obesity, obesity-related diseases, and bariatric surgery affect hair health in general and the hair development cycle, and how they influence hair loss.

“…Other known triggers of TE include acute illness, 7,8 nutritional deficiencies, 4,9 and/or major surgery. 10 Each hair follicle independently and sequentially progresses through anagen growth, catagen transition, and telogen resting phases. In the human scalp, the telogen phase typically lasts 3 months, at the end of which the telogen hair is extruded from the scalp.…”
