Waist defined by tummy tuck combined with lipo
The best procedures to define a waist is an abdominoplasty with mesh reinforcement and liposuction. Abdominoplasty uses sutures to tighten the fascia in the midline. However, you can also tighten the fascia on both flanks and reinforce the repair with the mesh to create a belt like constriction. This will reduce your waist. If you desire more than that then the area can be liposucted for maximum definition.

A nice waistline may be addressed by a Mermaid Lift
There are a few procedures that plastic surgeons typically use to address the waisline. Tummy tucks, tummy tucks with liposuction, and lowerbodylifts are examples of these.

Expansion of the abdominal wall during pregnancy allows the muscles to stretch apart, leaving a weak layer of fascia (connective tissue) spanning the gap between the two muscles – the medical term for which is diastasis. The midline tightening sutures correct the diastasis and bring...

Best surgery to define your waist
The simplest means to adding contour to your waist is liposuction for those patients that have a waist affected with lipodystrophy. For those patients that have a diastasis recti, redundant skin and lipodystrophy, abdominoplasty is the most effective way to perform this.

Waist definition
Rib removal is too extreme. Two reasonable options are liposuction or tummy tuck. See a board certified plastic surgeon.
