I am 12 weeks post op and have noticed that my nails are looking a bit dry. On further investigation I noticed that I have a horizontal ridge on each finger nail at roughly the same height from the base. Finger nails apparently grow about 3mm a month and as the ridges are almost 1 cm from the base it looks like the effects of the op are showing on my nails. Has anyone else noticed this?

However my hair thinned even further and is very, very dry. Worst though is that my skin (esp in my face) aged 5 years. 😯😕
Very frustrating and I was very careful to increase my intake of water, vitamin E and gelatin.
Happy for any advice.

I noticed some deep grooves a few months after my first hip replacement surgery (one month after my second hip replacement). My dermatologist mentioned the correlation between major life events and Beau's lines. Wish I was warned ahead of time...perhaps I could have prevented it?!
