What are the pros and cons of rib removal surgery?

Question

I'm thinking of getting a rib removal surgery because my waist is a little on the bigger side. my measurements are 40-31-40. I'm just thinking how many ribs would I need to remove to make my waist 24 inches? i am currently 31. and also what is the price?

Having removed hundreds of ribs for waistline reduction, a 6 inch reduction is your waistline is not a realistic outcome. Patients report anywhere from 1" to 3" depending upon their body type and tissue thicknesses. If one embarks on further corset waist training afterwards such a result may eventually be possible, which rib removal surgery has enabled, but such surgery alone can not make that significant a change.
