My Scalp BIOPSY results...what do they mean? (Breast Implants & Hair Loss)

alopecia = baldness
So that first bit says they favor genetic hairloss. It may have zero to do with your implants.

telogen effluvium is hair loss, temporary, generally caused by trauma like childbirth, surgery, drugs, starvation, etc In other words, hairloss caused for some random reason. They can't exclude it. I think that means they just didn't find a conclusive reason causing yours.

chronic perifolliculitis (this has to be broken up to be defined)
Peri means around, itis means inflammation. Follicle is what the inflammation is around. You have inflamed hair follicles.

I know you may be long gone, but this may be of use to someone else reading through later.
