Am I supposed to shave my underarms before pec implant surgery?

April 27, 2023
Asked By:Stuart3 in New York, New York

In three weeks, I’ll be getting pec and bicep implants. They’ll be inserted through incisions in my underarms. Do I have to remove hair from my underarms, or anywhere else, before this surgery? Or is it done for me intraoperatively? Conflicting info online. Of course, I first asked this question to my surgeon's office, but couldn't get a definitive answer from the staff member I was able to get in touch with. Many thanks for any clarification!
