You are not alone! Many struggle with similar challenges. But the good news is that you don’t have to give up on your desired appearance.
Barbie’s feminine figure may now be within your reach!
False Rib Reduction Instead of Floating Rib Removal
Many will do anything to achieve a shapely appearance. But there comes a point when neither diet nor rigorous exercise will slim the waist any further. The reason lies in the anatomy of the skeletal system.
The bone structure cannot be altered through exercise and nutrition, so it is worth considering surgical solutions. In this case, body contouring, specifically partial rib removal and thus false rib reduction, may be the ideal solution.
In established medical practice to this day, floating rib removal is used to give patients a slimmer waist. However, this procedure has numerous unfavorable health risks. One of the most important is that removing the floating ribs leaves the kidneys unprotected. Furthermore, complete removal is a relatively major intervention that places significant strain on the body.
False rib reduction is much safer than removing the floating ribs.
The essence of this is that the 10th and 11th floating ribs remain intact and partial removal of the false ribs is performed. In practice, this means that 5 cm sections are surgically removed from the 9th and 10th ribs on both the left and right sides of the rib cage, along the midclavicular line.
The intervention does not involve significant pain and the recovery time is relatively quick. As a result of the false rib reduction, the lower part of the chest narrows and the Barbie figure is achieved.
The method used by Dr. János Görög, thoracic surgeon, allows for effective and safe waist reduction.
From Beautiful to Even More Beautiful with Body Contouring
This type of body contouring procedure can be performed on individuals with slim or normal body types. Reshaping the false ribs is an excellent choice especially for short, rectangular waistlines. The intervention can achieve the most perfect body proportions relatively quickly.
Aesthetic rib reduction is not exclusively for women. It can also be an excellent choice for men or transgender individuals seeking a slimmer appearance.
Waist-Slimming Body Contouring Procedure
Like all surgical interventions, partial rib removal is preceded by a personal consultation with the physician. This is followed by a chest X-ray and a general examination is also required. If the thoracic surgeon finds no pathological changes, body contouring can proceed:
- Before surgery, the patient receives 1 dose of antibiotics to prevent potential infections.
- The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, during which the patient is in a supine position.
- Dr. János Görög, thoracic surgeon, makes 5 cm incisions in the area between the ninth and tenth costal arches. He then removes 5 cm from the patient’s 9th and 10th ribs on both the left and right sides along the midclavicular line.
- A drain tube is placed in the wound to remove any fluid or air that may accumulate. This tube is removed the day after surgery in the hospital.
- At the end of the operation, the wound is closed with plastic surgical sutures.
Body contouring typically takes 1 hour.
The intervention requires a 2-night stay in a private hospital.
After surgery
- A waterproof wound dressing is applied to the wound. This is particularly important because the wound must not get wet until the day after suture removal.
- Suture removal takes place 2 weeks after surgery. Following suture removal, it is recommended to apply a silicone wound healing patch. The patch promotes faster and better healing.
- After suture removal, wearing a special corset is recommended to give the waist a truly slender and aesthetic shape.
- It is advisable to rest and avoid strenuous activities until suture removal. During these 2 weeks, work is also not recommended, and driving should be avoided as well.
- A follow-up examination is scheduled 1 month after suture removal. In the 3rd month following surgery, another follow-up is required, at which time an X-ray is also taken.
Like all surgical interventions, the partial rib removal body contouring procedure carries some risk. Although the chance is small, the pleura may be injured and pneumothorax may develop in the patient. Additionally, mild post-operative bleeding may occur.

Quick Recovery
Compared to floating rib removal, false rib reduction has a somewhat shorter recovery time. This type of surgery does not require specific rehabilitation. Care must be taken to ensure that, as mentioned, the patient does not perform strenuous activities until suture removal.
1-2 months after body contouring surgery, light activities such as running, swimming, and cycling are possible. Full return to previous lifestyle is possible from the 3rd month after surgery.
Following suture removal, wearing the corset is particularly important, typically for 3-6 months. The thoracic surgeon will provide detailed information about this process.
