Where can I get rib removal surgery outside of the United States?

RSMember33459Feb 22, 2020

Hi! I'm really interested in getting rib removal surgery but I cannot travel to the United States. Keep in mind, I can travel pretty much anywhere else, but just not the US. However, the only surgeons I've seen offering this procedure are in the United States.

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.

If the waist was smaller at one time, the waist can likely be reduced to those same measurements or smaller provided the muscular and fascial integrity has remained the same.  Kenneth Hughes, MD, Board Certified Plastic SurgeonLos Angeles, CA

I do not know of any plastic surgeons in the US that perform this procedure.  A tummy tuck is a safe operation with excellent results.  Is it necessary to remove ribs?
