Rib Removal Surgery Popularizes in the United States

Some women who have tummy tucks remain unsatisfied with the way that their body looks or their inability to fit into the dress size they desire. Some of these patients choose to have one to three ribs removed to obtain the ideal hourglass figure.

The surgery is very serious and requires that the patient be in great physical shape. The procedure cannot be reversed because ribs do not grow back. Therefore it is important that the patient consider all inherent risks and changes that will take place after the surgery.

The operation is not guaranteed to decrease waist size, but it has been effective for many patients struggling to create that perfect body shape. It is typically combined with an abdominoplasty procedure, to maximize results. For more information on this intense procedure that has dramatic results, contact your plastic surgeon today!
