Pre-Op Implant Shaving

Postby oldog12 » Fri Dec 10, 2021 8:10 am

I have implant surgery scheduled in early January. My surgeon requests that I do my own pre-op shaving of the pubic area and scrotum, which is no problem. My question is for those who have been through this (or if the nurses did it), do you shave down in the folds between the legs and the scrotum? I can imagine that it will be quite itchy when the hair starts growing back in when the legs move, but I'll do whatever is best for the operation. The surgery video I've watched shows that area draped, so I can not determine the extent. Thank you for any comments.

I thought this was going to the Implant section. Duh---it went here instead. My apologies.
