A member asked:
Do you have to shave your whole head if you undergo cranial osteoma treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Craniotomy: For craniotomy, you just need to shave the area where the surgery would be done. Now, do you prefer just to shave it partially which will give you patchy baldness or you want just to shave everything-the whole head- is your preference.
