What is Rib Remodeling?
Rib remodeling is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure designed to reshape the ribs, creating a slimmer and more defined waistline. Unlike rib removal, this technique maintains the integrity of the ribs while enhancing the body’s natural curves.
Why Choose Rib Remodeling?
This procedure is ideal for individuals seeking a more contoured waistline, especially those who have experienced significant weight loss or have naturally open ribs. Rib remodeling helps achieve a balanced and aesthetically pleasing silhouette.
Procedure Details
The surgery involves making a small incision in the back to access the floating ribs. The surgeon then carefully reshapes and repositions these ribs to cinch in the waist, resulting in a more hourglass figure.
Benefits of Rib Remodeling
- Minimally Invasive: Less invasive than rib removal, preserving the ribs’ protective function.
- Natural Enhancement: Provides subtle, natural-looking results.
- Quick Recovery: Patients typically enjoy a faster recovery time compared to more invasive procedures.
Risks and Considerations
As with any surgery, rib remodeling carries some risks, including:
- Infection and Bleeding: Standard surgical risks.
- Minimal Scarring: Due to the small incisions.
- Nerve Damage: Rare but possible, which could lead to chronic pain.
- Asymmetry: Potential for slight differences in waist shape.
Pre-Surgery Preparation
- You'll receive instructions about medications to stop taking before surgery and when to stop them.
- Taking medications or supplements that thin the blood can affect the blood's ability to clot. They can increase the risk of hematomas after surgery. These medications include blood thinners, aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ginseng, Ginkgo biloba, fish oil and others.
- You'll be asked to avoid eating anything after midnight the night before your surgery.
