How long after a tummy tuck can I get a Brazilian wax? (photo)

May 16, 2014
Asked By:Llhamer23 in Memphis, TN

I get Brazilian waxes every four weeks. I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair on April 29 and suppose to go get a Brazilian wax May 21st. Is this too soon? Do I need to wait until I'm at least 6 weeks post op or will I be ok?
