AB 1401 - Extension of the Minimum COBRA Coverage Period.

Tummy tuck patients must have a body mass index (BMI) of 28 or below. A BMI over 28 puts patients at a higher risk for complications as well as results that may be less than patients expect.

Popularly known as tummy tuck, abdominoplasty is a cosmetic surgical procedure to eliminate excess abdominal fat and skin. For the 20 women, the average amount of abdominal tissue resected was approximately five pounds.
