Which Is Better Rib Modification or Rib Removal?
Q: Dr. Eppley, Hello…I am interested in rib modification or repositioning. Do you just perform rib removal or also do rib repositioning? Do you think rib removal is better?
A:Rib removal always produces better long term results than rib bending/modification as it removes the rib protrusion and reduces the thickness of the overlying latissimus dorsi muscle.
