It does not significantly affect shaving. While you are still wearing your surgical dressings on the incision, you will need to shave around them. Once Dr. Starkman says it is okay to remove the dressings, you should be able to tell if your incision is healed enough to shave over. However, you may need to wait a few more days. When you do shave again, just make sure not to place extra pressure on the implant and the surrounding muscles. When you are fully healed, you should be able to shave as normal.
