A member asked:
I had a laparoscopic appendectomy about 3.5 weeks ago. only the incision below the navel appears to be healed, is it safe to have a brazilian wax?

Avoid incision: Should be ok, but avoid the area of the incision for another 3-5 weeks. You may have an incision right above the pubic bone as well. You could always call your surgeon to find out for sure. Hope this helps!
