Will I be able to get unemployment or anything of the sort for bills while I'm out of work post-op from my breast augmentation?

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Because breast augmentation surgery is an elective procedure you can not collect unemployment, it is similar to not receiving paid leave from your employer.  Hope this helps.

DearMs AshlieKelly,I understand your concerns. Thank you for your question.Please make a appointment with your Human Relations Dept. to see if you are eligible for "sick leave". Ask your chosen Plastic Surgeon for a specific letter stating your limations and return to work anticipated time.I trust you have chosen a experienced Plastic Surgeon who is Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and ideally a member of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (denoting by membership as having met additional criteria and a focus on Cosmetic Plastic Surgery).

I would speak with your employer about this. I would also  recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with.   Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach Trained, Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
