Can I get a Dr's note to get out of work if I get a Body Lift?

Thank you for your question regarding whether you can get a doctor's note to get out of work if you get a body lift. Suppose your surgeon deems it reasonable. He may write a message saying you may not be able to work. When I wrote these notes for indicated patients, my letterhead had my name and address. It has no mention of plastic surgery or surgery. However, I do not know what your plastic surgeon would put on their letterhead. Therefore, the letter's writing depends on your plastic surgeon and their willingness to write a note and on what the paper on the memo describes.
I specialize in reconstructive plastic surgery after weight loss. Please contact my office if you have more questions regarding the lower body lift, 360 circumferential lower body lift, belt lipectomy, belt abdominoplasty, or belt dermolipectomy. Since the body lift is an extensive procedure, please seek an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon with significant experience performing the lower body lift. Do your research. Ensure they have completed at least 100 circumferential lower body lift surgeries and have the before and after pictures to prove it. Carefully examine their before and after photos and check their reviews on RealSelf. If you cannot find an experienced lower body lift surgeon in your neighborhood, consider traveling out of state.
Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Thank you for your question.
You should be able to acquire a note stating it is medically unsafe to fly after your procedure. Although the type of procedure you are having does not need to be disclosed to your employer, your doctor cannot change the fact that they are a plastic surgeon.

If you need a note from your surgeon stating you should not fly relating to your surgical recovery (provided of course that this is the case), then your surgeon should be able to provide that to you. The note will obviously have the name of your surgeon on it. The type of surgery you had does not need to be disclosed.
