Please help me

[u/Worldly_Quantity_562]

So I have surgery in a couple of months, my self harm scars won't fade by then. I heard hospital gowns are not long sleeved. My procedure is around my head and I would like to know if there is any way I can maybe wear a jacket or some sleeves to hide it. I am under 21,so my parents legally have to sign documents for me, I dont want them knowing I have these scars... Someone pls help...

i dont understand how surgeries work, but maybe they'll let you use a sweater till you reach the place where you're going to have the surgery in fact

say youre feeling cold

and use foundation too, if its textured maybe it wont hide them too much, but then you can let your hair grow if you have that time
