I am planning to have a chin augmentation, and I am really concerned on what to tell my coworkers and employer. I would have to do it on a Thursday, and planned to take the Friday and the following week off....this is quite long for most people in my office. Is there any kind of believeable medical excuse I could use that would explain the time off and the swelling/scar after the procedure? I would greatly appreciate some help on this, as it would need to be realistic.
