While on leave for BBL procedure, could I qualify for sick leave being that it is a surgery with required downtime?

hello thank you for your question and provided information as well..based on the exposed question the ideal in your case, would be that you consult that part with your plastic surgeon so that it evaluates the options that can give you in that case.

Employers generally offer workers some form of sick leave they can use in case of their own illness.  However, only your human resources department could advise you on whether undergoing and recovering from  aesthetic surgery would be considered approved sick leave.Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA
