What happens if i have to have a brain tumor removed will they have to shave my whole head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: It depends on the details, but most of the time no. Some patients choose to shave their whole heads for ease of care for the incision after the surgery. For details about how much hair will be shaved, it's best to ask your Neurosurgeon.
