Body Mass Index

BMI calculator

BMI (Body Mass Index) is calculated by dividing a person’s weight in kilograms by the square of their height in meters.  The result of this calculation will determine if you are eligible for surgery, the max BMI that we accept is 39.

A high Body Mass Index (BMI) poses risks in plastic surgery, including increased chances of surgical complications like infections and poor wound healing, challenges with anesthesia administration, and potential aesthetic impacts. Because of these complications we required our patients to have a BMI lower than 39.
