Answers:
I would wait!.!. and ask your dr!. about it during your appt!. If you wanted to shave it for your dr, forget about it! They have seen anything and everything- it's best to wait and ask!. You don't want to reopen a scar!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You are seeing a doctor tomorrow, why not just wait and ask!?
I know a lot of doctors and they see people at their worst, they aren't even going to notice a little hair!.
I wouldn't shave after just 6 weeks, its too newly healed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If the incision is not sore, then go ahead and shave!. The only thing is you don't want to put any irritants on it like shaving cream until it is fully healed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If it's completely healed, as you say, then it should be fine to shave!. However, there's no reason to shave it for the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Ask the Doctor tomorrow about that!. It might be fine, but maybe a few months after it has healed, not six weeks!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
