Rib Removal for smaller (tiny) waist

Welcome to MiKO Plastic Surgery, where we prioritize your beauty, confidence, and well-being.  Dr. Michael K. Obeng, one of the world's leading plastic surgeons, specializes in transformative procedures aimed at enhancing your natural beauty.  Among his repertoire of groundbreaking surgeries is rib removal, a procedure designed to help you achieve a smaller waist and the silhouette you desire.

In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the intricacies of rib removal surgery, shedding light on its benefits, procedure details, recovery process, and more.


Why Consider Rib Removal Surgery for a Smaller Waist?


Rib removal surgery, also known as rib resection or costal cartilage excision, is a revolutionary procedure sought by individuals looking to achieve a more defined waistline and hourglass figure.  Here's why you should consider it:

  • Enhanced Waist Definition: By removing select ribs, typically the lower floating ribs, Dr. Michael K. Obeng can sculpt your waistline, creating a more pronounced hourglass shape. 
  • Tailored Results: Unlike traditional methods such as diet and exercise, rib removal surgery offers precise and customized results, allowing you to achieve your desired waistline with precision.
  • Boosted Confidence: A smaller waist can significantly enhance your confidence and body image, empowering you to feel more comfortable and attractive in your skin.



Procedure Overview:


Rib removal surgery is a meticulous procedure that demands the expertise of a skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Michael K. Obeng. Here's a brief overview of what you can expect:

  • Initial Consultation: During your consultation, Dr. Obeng will assess your medical history, aesthetic goals, and suitability for the procedure.  This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions and address any concerns you may have.
  • Surgical Planning: Dr. Obeng will develop a personalized surgical plan tailored to your unique anatomy and desired outcomes.  This may involve determining the number of ribs to be removed and the specific technique to be used.
  • Anesthesia: Rib removal surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety throughout the procedure.
  • Incision and Rib Removal: Dr. Obeng will make small incisions along your ribcage, through which he will access and remove the designated ribs.  Dr. Obeng uses specialized techniques to minimize scarring and optimize aesthetic outcomes.
  • Closure and Recovery: Once the ribs have been removed, the incisions are meticulously closed, and dressings are applied.  You'll be closely monitored during the initial stages of recovery to ensure proper healing and comfort.


Recovery and Results:


Recovery from rib removal surgery varies from patient to patient but generally follows a similar trajectory:

  • Immediate Postoperative Period: You may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the days following surgery.  Dr. Obeng will provide pain medication and specific instructions to manage these symptoms.
  • Restricted Activities: While you'll be encouraged to resume light activities soon after surgery, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks to facilitate proper healing.
  • Long-Term Results: As swelling subsides and your body adjusts, you'll begin to notice the transformative results of rib removal surgery.  Your waistline will appear more contoured and defined, enhancing your overall silhouette.
  • Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Obeng are essential to monitor your progress, address any concerns, and ensure optimal outcomes.
