The RibXcar procedure is a minimally invasive rib reshaping surgery designed to create a more sculpted and narrower waistline by repositioning the 10th, 11th, and 12th ribs inward without removing them. It uses ultrasound guidance and a tiny puncture incision (less than 1mm) to perform a controlled monocortical fracture of the ribs, preserving the rib cage’s structural integrity, avoiding scarring, and offering shorter recovery compared to traditional rib removal surgery. Before and after photos of the RibXcar procedure show a significant waist reduction with a more defined waistline contour. Patients experience minimal bruising and swelling initially, with gradual bone remodeling over 3 to 6 months resulting in natural-looking, permanent waistline slimming. Key benefits include:
- Scarless with no visible incisions
- Less invasive and safer than rib removal
- Shorter recovery (4-8 weeks typically)
- Maintains rib cage function
- Long-lasting results through bone repositioning and natural remodeling
The procedure is rapidly gaining popularity worldwide among individuals seeking dramatic but natural waist contouring without major surgery or permanent rib removal.
