Is It Safe To Have Brazilian Wax After The Surgery For Hernia?

I had hernia surgery about 7 weeks ago and just had a Brazilian wax. Was that okay. I think I should have not done that. I thought as long as I did not lift anything heave, I would not hurt anything. It seems like I popped out the hernia though. Your thoughts?

Hi,

As long as the scar is intact and not open or infected, that seems safe enough.
The was only effects the skin and hair and not the operation that is under the skin.

So no harm done!
