Is Rib Removal Suitable For Transwomen?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I have a couple of questions regarding the torso narrowing procedure performed by Dr. Eppley.

Is the surgery suitable for trans women?

How many inches will the thorax lose in circumference?

A: 2/3s of the patients who  undergo rib removal surgery are transfemales. (Type 2 Rib Removals)

I don’t think of rib removal surgery results as in circumferential inches reduction. It is more accurate tuse body pictures to show the typical results that can be expected.
