Gail,

I mean it is an acceptable procedure if you do a subtotal. In other cases it is my opinion that abdominoplasty should be avoided. A very thin patient (with a post partum apron for instance) won't change my opinion a lot for the detachment is the same.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
