Payers police cosmetic vs reconstructive in the note
Visual-field loss, chronic rash, or functional impairment has to be explicit. Aesthetic language in a reconstructive note is a denial.

Plastic Surgery
An AI medical scribe built for plastic surgery
Operative notes, cosmetic vs reconstructive distinction, and post-op instructions — laterality, ABN, and prior-auth for panniculectomy drafted from the encounter.
The problem
What slows plastic surgery down
Op notes need counts, flaps, and laterality
A clinic SOAP cannot be stretched into an abdominoplasty or blepharoplasty operative note.
Post-op instructions are a patient-safety document
Drains, activity, and wound checks have to match what was said in recovery. Generic packets do not document that teaching happened.
