SEEG question!

Hi!
Sorry for the vanity question, but I'm wondering if anyone has had the SEEG test/surgery and if they have to shave your head?
Thank you!!!!

It depends where you go. I had mine shaved just where the majority of the leads were (right temporal). I two on the left and they didn't shave any. They pulled the top layer of hair and braided it so they only shaved what they had to.

Regarding the SEEG/surgery and hair cut- my head was shaved, I wore a hat until it grew out. It was much thicker than before.
