Is the Removal Of 6 Ribs Dangerous?
Q: Dr. Eppley, Looking to get six ribs removed to get smallest waist possible. Wondering if this is something you would consider doing or if it’s too dangerous. Thanks so much!
A: You are referring to Type 2 rib removal which I do frequently. The question with any form of rib removal is not whether it is dangerous, as it is not, but how effective it will be for the patient’s waistline reduction goals. I would need to see pictures of your torso to help make that determination.
