I am scheduled for Tummy Tuck with Lipo on the 31st of this month. Can I color my hair this week, 6 days prior to surgery?

Asked By:Shells1228 in Preston, MD

I really want a change, and want people to notice the difference when I return to work, but I want to draw their attention from my stomach. Is it safe to color before, or should I wait to color after?
