HI! I would most definitely NOT shave there!. Also, your healing time can vary with how you take care of the incision!. When I get an incision, I always use a capsule of vitamin E!. I take a sterilized pin and put a hole in the capsule then put the contents on the incision!. It helps with healing and it makes the scar less noticeable!. Good Lock!
p!.s!. if you shave there you stand the chance of getting a lose hair in the cut and that will make it fester!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

how long did the doctor say to wait before shaving!? i would shave, but maybe just avoid the small area where the incision is, and i would shave very carefully!. if it gets too sore, then maybe just trim the hair with manicure scissors until its healed a bit more!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It might take a couple more weeks depending on how well you take care of it!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
