It depends on your surgeon.  The only thing mine wanted me to do is shower before hand.  I never had to shave the area in question, nor did I have to stop HRT.

It is a minor surgery and blood loss is at a minimum.  Which is why they require you to stop HRT, to raise the clotting fact.  Just make sure you have an ice pack at home.  It helps reduce any swelling.
