In my experience one who has undergone multiple shunt surgeries, the surgical team shaved only the side of my head where surgical access was required. After surgery, I was left with a head of hair that required the services of a barber. If your mother has concerns, possibly she could speak to nurses/and or the neurosurgeon.
Best of luck to you and your mother!
