I have very bad frontal assymetry due to scoliosis that I can't stand, it bothers me a lot and makes clothes fit me poorly, is there anyway this could be corrected? I was thinking rib removal on my right side and fat transfer into one hip to even things out?
Answer: Rib Removal It is rather difficult to tell based on your photo. I would advise you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination to discuss all possible treatment options and what your expectations are.

Answer: Correction of asymmetry Thank you very much for this interesting question. A rib removal is a complex surgery with severe possible complications and should not be considered first choice. Fat grafting should give you a good correction of the asymmetry. In any case it is very important for you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon for recommendations based on a thorough physical examination. Have a wonderful rest of the day and greetings from the beautiful island of Jamaica.

Answer: Scoliosis management Hello! I would never recommend rib removal. There is a large risk associated with that. There may be camouflage procedures. I'm assuming you are not a candidate for spinal procedure. You should see a board certified plastic surgeon to check on your options.

Answer: Rib Removal and Liposuction It is hard to tell from this one picture the exact location/magnitude of the asymmetry. That is key in determining if ribs 11 and 12 are a major contributing source of the asymmetry. With scoliosis there is definitely going to be lower ribcage asymmetry and this is very common. An x-ray would really be needed to determine where the ends of ribs 11 and 12 sticks out.
