How should I request a medical opinion letter, leave request, and payroll processing to submit to my company after plastic surgery? Please provide examples of wording to receive from the hospital, a sample of a simple medical certificate for submission to the HR team, experiences choosing between paid sick leave and annual leave, and recommendations for phrases that maintain confidentiality and reduce the burden on the company.

It is less burdensome to ask the hospital to write something like “○ days of rest and recovery needed after surgery,” and to simply inquire with the HR team, asking to “please confirm the possibility of using annual leave/sick leave for personal medical reasons,” rather than giving a long explanation to the company.
It's best to request a medical certificate from the hospital that minimizes the disclosure of your diagnosis, perhaps stating only "Post-operative rest and care required," and to simply inquire with your company about "the possibility of using leave for personal medical reasons."
For sensitive matters, please request that it be noted as "Recovery after medical treatment" instead of the specific diagnosis. For salary and leave processing, it would be safest to consult with the HR team privately according to company internal regulations.
At the hospital, simply request "X days of rest/recovery needed post-treatment/surgery." For work, discreetly check with HR about the possibility of using personal leave or sick days for medical reasons.
