Telling my MD about hair transplant

While I've been blessed in many ways throughout my life, those blessings didn't extend to my head. I'll be getting a hair transplant in the next few months and undoubtedly will have to tell my boss. We are a small team / company and have a flexible work policy so I plan to wfh for about ~5 weeks post surgery. Regardless, I'd still like to tell him so I don't show back up and shock him / everyone. So, my two questions are: 

(1) How do I even approach / frame the conversation? Feels incredibly awkward (2) Should I mention it to my other team members (ASO, VP) given the small team dynamic? I plan to own it when I'm back in the office, but unsure if it's overkill to tell everyone prior.

Where are you getting it done? US? Turkey? How much is it - how many graphs are you getting?

Just say you're getting a medical procedure and it's non life-threatening so they're not worried? 

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.

I would definitely tell the boss and just be honest about it. Regarding the team, I would tell them if you going from like mostly bald to a full head of hair.  Also, the team is probably wonder why are not going to be in the office for 5 weeks
