FLOATING RIBS REMOVAL Hi I am looking for a doctor who perform floating ribs removal 11th &12th of the lower ribs in United States. I did some research and found two doctors in Los Angles CA that does this procedure only with a tummy tuck. I like to find a doctor who do the procedure without tummy tuck and also let me know price range of this procedure.
