Will Removal Of More Ribs Make A Waistline Narrowing More Extreme?

Q: Dr. Eppley, is there a way to make rib removal results more extreme? like removing more ribs?

A: The reason I present the imaging in the way it is shown is because you make a decision for surgery based on the LEAST amount of change that is known to occur NOT on the most amount of change you hope will happen. The former is known to occur while the latter may never happen. It is all about controlling expectations as that is how you don’t end up disappointed.
