My employer has asked me to apply for short term disability during the time I'm taking off for my BA. I'm wondering if I'm eligible for STD benefits while healing from BA since it is seen as elective surgery, but my doctor has written that I am getting a BA due to breast hypomastia. Please help!

Answer: This is elective, disability does not apply
Waiting at least 2 weeks to resume some level of activity is typically recommended, after 4 weeks you should be able to resume full cardio workouts.
Our office recommends that our patients take 100 grams of protein per day in the healing phase for the first six weeks following surgery. You and your plastic surgeon can discuss specific brands.Kenneth B. Hughes, MDBoard Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA 90066
Hello,You should definitely reach and speak with your Plastic Surgeon. It would be difficult to advise you without seeing you in person and knowing the details of your case. I recommend that you contact them again and ask to be seen.All the best
