How long after having tummy tuck should I wait to shave pubic hair?

Question

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

You may want to wait a few weeks after surgery to allow for any irritation to resolve.  Avoid the incision and any open areas.  Be sure to shave with the growth of the hair versus against.  Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. If the area you want to shave is far from the incisions that should not be a problem. Just avoid the incisions so there is no irritation. Best of luck.Dhaval M. Patel Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Hoffman Estates Barrington Oakbrook Chicago Orland Park

Thank you for your question.The only limitation to shaving would depend on where the drain come out. If the drain are along the incision, then a week after surgery would be ample. If the drains are placed in the mons area, then you have to wait until those openings close.
