What do I need to ask for in order to have my tummy tuck surgery covered under FMLA?

Hello. Great question. I will suggest contacting FMLA for further details.Please schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results. 

You ask a great question but the answer can best be addressed by your HR people. They will have a better sense of what conditions are covered by FMLA.

FMLA is the federal family medical leave act.  It applies if you need time off but not to procedures themselves.  A medical certification is required so you should inquire of your surgeon.  Know that you may be required to sign a HIPAA release, meaning that the nature of the surgery must be stated accurately and ethically.
