Woman revealing her satr for cosmetic surgery

Q: I need a fatwa regarding treating a female patient by a male doctor in a surgery.

Actually the procedure is cosmetic surgery for droopy eyelids and the male surgeon said that we will take skin from your inner thighs. So I want to ask about the draping procedure and all the male staff along with female staff with male doctors are present.

Is it allowed to expose your body infront of men in the presence of females?

A: She should avoid this, since this will amount to her revealing her satr.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
