Plastics and Reconstructive Surgery

Answer these questions to see if you would be a candidate for plastics and reconstructive surgery:

Do you smoke or use any nicotine products (vape with nicotine)?

Is your BMI greater than 33? If you are not sure, please use the BMI Calculator to find your results.

BMI Calculator

To be considered for plastics/reconstructive surgery it is very important to quit smoking for at least 30 days prior to your surgery due to a higher risk of complications. If you currently smoke and are not willing to quit you would not be a candidate for surgery. Many surgeries also require a BMI of 33 or less. When calling to schedule, please use the BMI Calculator to figure your BMI as you may be asked your BMI upon scheduling.
