I am new to this group. I am just starting the process of having the osia system surgery. I have had many questions!!! Fortunately, I’ve received many answers from this forum as well as others. I do have somewhat of a minor concern. I guess vanity is kicking in! I know my head must be shaved for the surgery. Are they able to do this under the longer upper layers of my hair? Therefore, the incision would be covered. As well as possibly the processor covered by my hair?
Thank you!!

Hi! Yes, they should leave the higher parts of your hair intact and that section of hair should cover your wound as it heals. (That was my experience anyway.) I had the same concerns! 🙂

In this picture of my wound you can see that they only shaved the immediate area and I still had plenty of surrounding hair left (whew!).
