Weird Question about Surgery
Sun, 09/21/2008 - 14:56I am going to be going through a Right Temporal Lobectomy. How do people deal with the Hair cutting aspect of Surgery. I mean I have longer hair right now. Do they just Shave one side of your Hair in Surgery and then they leave the other side long? I don't know anything about this and am just curious. How did you deal with this when you when though your surgery?

Hi,
I had left Temporal lobe lobectomy in 2006. the only hair that was shaved was the area where they cut my skull, but it grows back pretty quickly and within 6 months you wouldnt know it was there.

Hi Leah!
I haven't had my surgery yet, but My neurosurgeon told me that he was going to cut my hair as close to the hairline as possible, with as little hair as well.
Best Wishes!

Hi Leah,
I had surgery about a month and a half ago and instead of freaking out about getting my long hair cut- I got a short hair cut before surgery (ended up loving it too) Then they only shaved half of my hair off during surgery, so I asked the nurse to please shave the rest off.
I hope you have as good of luck as I did and as nice of nurses as I did :) Think positive it helps :)
Good Luck
