It works extremely well when combined with waist liposuction.
This patient already had liposuction and has very little subcutaneous fat, but even in such cases, adjusting the rib angle can beautifully enhance the waistline.
Risks: pneumothorax, hemothorax, asymmetry, etc.
Risks and side effects
Rib remodeling is performed under general anesthesia, which places a burden on the body, and pain, swelling, and bruising may last for several weeks. Because the ribs are treated, nerve injury, temporary effects on breathing, and small scars may occur, and in rare cases the rib shape may become uneven or tend to return to its original position.
These symptoms may occur during recovery and most improve over time, but their severity and the recovery period vary from person to person. If you have any concerns, please consult your doctor rather than judging for yourself.
