Pre surgery waxing....

I would assume for the ladies that it will be hard to bend over and shave legs (and other parts) post surgery...I am totally getting waxed! My legs are way past prickly HAHAHAHAHA they are more like fury at this point! Anyway, just a suggestion...carry on

    I wasn't allowed to do any hair removal from the neck down for seven days prior to surgery so make sure it's kosher with your surgeon!

And possibly men for manscaping! It hurts like a MOTHER but worth it!


When/if you have the extra $$ I strongly suggest laser hair removal, if you hate hair like me. I have not shaved in months!!! Underarms, my pikachu and butt!

I was just going to say, Might want to make sure you check with your surgical team for any restrictions... I've heard/read about some teams barring shaving for whatever reasons... always best to ask your team!

I’m a regular water with no issues ?

I hate to brag (yeah right), but I've never had to shave my legs or armpits in my life. My hair just doesn't grow in those two (four?) locations, so it wasn't a concern for me. :) lol
