I am wanting to do a body lift in October, but I may have a business meeting to go to that I do not want to go to. If i have the surgery and cannot fly yet after (to east coast), would it be possible to get a dr note from the surgeon? Would it say plastic surgery? I was going to say that I had surgery and cannot travel but don’t want them to know it was elective.

Answer: Dr's note from the surgeon Dear Glorious7157, you should be able to get a Dr's note from the surgeon. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Yes, a note would be possible Hi Glorious, I am always willing to provide a doctors note that discusses restrictions to my patients. But I have to be honest about who I am and my credentials...while you can request that the note not specifically discuss the nature of your surgery, your note would definitely come from a plastic surgeon's office. This may create more questions than you would prefer to answer. Would be good to discuss with your surgeon in advance. Hope this helps.
