Regarding your question about shaving, there was no debate with Dr. Cooley. I hesitate to try to fully explain what Dr. Cooley explained to me when I expressed the concerns of not shaving that I have read about on the forum for fear of not doing his explanation justice. In simplest terms, he said that shaving saves some time, but does absolutely nothing to impact the results. I know this is contradictory to what others have said. I can say that when I compared his full explanation as to why I would not be sacrificing any aspect of my final result and compared it with the concerns I read on the forum, I felt most comfortable with Dr. Cooley's reasoning. I understand it is possible for someone else hear the same two points of view and come to a different conclusion than I did. If I felt that shaving would have improved my result I would have done it. All things being equal, I preferred not to shave, but would have done it if there was some payoff other than the procedure taking more time. Dr. Cooley not requesting his patient shave was an extremely minor factor in choosing him to be my doctor.

Dr. Keene feels the same way about shaving. She basically told me that the ONLY person it helps is the doctor. It saves them time, and she feels that since this is a surgery that WE are paying A LOT for to look better, it doesn't make sense to inconvenience the patient any more than she already has to. I mean, who wants to look like Bozo the Clown for any length of time? It's quite a humiliating look. It's the look that we are all trying to avoid! There are several coalition doctors out there that don't require shaving that consistently produce fantastic results.

If dr. Keene AND dr. Cooley, my two favorite doctors, are ok with not shaving, then I am ok with not shaving. I have no need to question this issue any further.
