Shaving with armpit incision for breast augmentation?

January 20, 2014
Asked By:catherinels in Toronto, ON

I was thinking of getting a BA and would want the armpit incision but was wondering how soon after surgery would you be able to shave there again, and how would you avoid irritating the scar? Also is getting that area waxed before surgery a good idea? thanks!
