Whats up guys.. I have a quick question. I have a hairy chest/stomach so should I shave the night before or will they take care of that pre-op the day of? Sorry if its a dumb question but its my first surgery.

If you dont - when you wake up it will be done for you anyways. As they say though if you want something done well, do it yourself

Its entirely up to you tbh.

Free shave and a haircut.

Shaving always risks small cuts and abrasions which could let bacteria in....leave the possible shave to the experts the morning of surgery to minimize the risk of infection.

I asked this exact question and was told DO NOT shave anything the night before. If you happen to cut yourself, even slightly, they will cancel the surgery.

They shaved me after I went under anasthesia.

My girl actually had me nair off the hair and I was fine... perhaps that can work for you! Good luck!

I ended up not shaving and they just buzzed it off right after I was put under.
