Weight in itself is not the sole restrictive factor in determining one’s eligibility for a particular procedure. Decisions are always made in light of you as a whole and certainly, it is not a point to be dismissed whether one’s weight is “too high” or “too low.” BMI in itself does not necessarily correlate with one’s health status or even level of obesity.

At the GCC (Gender Confirmation Center), we do have BMI eligibility restrictions for certain procedures. It is important to note that body composition, not the weight itself, is a major determinate. BMI itself does not reflect this point. If you have specific questions, you can discuss them with one of our board-certified surgeons in a free consultation.

For the health and safety of our patients, we ask that candidates for a simple meta have a BMI no greater than 40 and that candidates for a meta with PUL have a BMI no greater than 35.
