Shave head.: May want to go to a barber who does shaves. They will usually do it at hospital tho. May not need to shave entire head. discuss with your team.

Depends.: It depends on the surgeon and the approach chosen by the surgeon. Some surgeons only do a minimal shave, others take off more hair.
