I was actually told not to shave
(not that I cared... I was in too much pain to care and couldn't see from the overhanging skin anyway).
Have you been back for a checkup yet? I didn't do anything until after my 6 week checkup. I had a 1-week check to remove the stitch (she used just one long stitch). She told me to leave it alone until she checked me again at 6 weeks.
