We show that a set A ⊂ {0, 1}n with edge-boundary of size at most [|A| (log_{2}(2^{n}/|A|) + epsilon)] can be made into a subcube by at most (2ε/log2(1/ε))|A| additions and deletions, provided ε is less than an absolute constant. We deduce that if A ⊂ {0, 1}n has size 2t for some t ∈ ℕ, and cannot be made into a subcube by fewer than δ|A| additions and deletions, then its edge-boundary has size at least [|A| log_{2}(2^{n}/|A|) + |A| delta log_{2}(1/delta) = 2^{t}(n-t+delta log_{2}(1/delta)),] provided δ is less than an absolute constant. This is sharp whenever δ = 1/2j for some j ∈ {1, 2, . . ., t}.
