Dr. Mosser does not have a body mass index (BMI) requirement for chest reconstruction surgery, and has performed top surgery on patients with BMIs as high as 65, after a thorough medical clearance in partnership with the patient’s primary care physician.

It is a good idea to not attempt any drastic weight changes close to surgery or afterward, and to be close to the weight range that your body normally stays in. Losing or gaining a significant amount of weight following surgery can impact your final outcome.
