Correspondence from Plastic Surgeon to General Practitioner Template

Dear Dr. Smith,
I am writing to update you on the recent consultation with your patient, Mr. John Doe, on 1 November 2024. Below are the details of the issues discussed and the further plan.
- Mr. Doe presented with concerns about a post-operative scar from a previous abdominal surgery. He expressed dissatisfaction with its appearance and reported occasional discomfort. We discussed the option of scar revision surgery to enhance both aesthetic and functional outcomes.
- Past medical history includes a cholecystectomy performed in 2022 and a history of hypertension.
- Current medications include Lisinopril 10mg daily. No herbal supplements were reported.
- Social history reveals that Mr. Doe is a non-smoker and consumes alcohol occasionally.
- No known allergies were reported.
Further Plan:
- I have proposed a scar revision procedure, which Mr. Doe is considering. We have scheduled a follow-up appointment in two weeks to discuss his decision and any further questions he may have. No additional tests are required at this time.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Emily Johnson  
Consultant Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon
