Is it safe to get rib subluxation?

Question

I’ve noticed plastic surgeons doing rib luxation when performing a BBL to create a smaller waist for an hourglass figure and it looks so good. Is this a recommendation?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. I would not recommend this procedure, there are other procedures that can help you to create a smaller waist. I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon.

Dear Lebanondon15,
BBL is a great surgery for body contouring so there is no need for rib subluxation. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

I don’t recommend having ribs removed for aesthetic purposes.

Most plastic surgeons don’t perform this procedure for good reason.

Best,
