I did not need to shave pre-op for this part of the tummy tuck. My PS said she would just shave whatever was necessary while she was working. I would definitely recommend getting the " hoochie " pulled up -- it makes a world of difference (at least in my experience) in your sex life.

Let alone thought of it affecting my > sex life. Wait til hubby hears ----------- I swear, this is not a joke. In many morbidly obese women the mons pubis (definition: A rounded fleshy protuberance situated over the pubic bones that becomes covered with hair during puberty) has become distended and sags - sometimes hanging down quite a bit. If not addressed, after the stomach is flattened and tightened you can be left with a " bag " hanging down. I have seen some hideous " after " pictures where the doctor did not address this situation. Of course, I wouldn't call it a " hoochie " lift in discussing this with the plastic surgeon -- I'd use true anatomical names! At the risk of embarrassing everyone, the benefit to " lifting " it is in the correction of the placement of the clitoris (just in case someone jumps to the wrong conclusion, the repositioning is the result of pulling up the surrounding skin/tissue - there is no cutting done in that area!)
