10 MONTH UPDATE

WORTH IT$3,000
I'm about 10 months post op and I can still say this was the best decision of my life. Even with wearing the garment for only 1 month I do believed I maintained my results the only problem is I got fat!! I store all my fat around my butt hips thighs and waist and it really hides the results. I have lipo booked a month from now.
I'm a great example for this surgery because most girls who have this done have dramatic hips or implants that don't show how this technique looks on more 'natural' body
My main recommendations for this surgery would be don't do it in the US, again I only paid $3000 in Tijuana, wear a spandex type dress or garment underneath your waist trainer or corset to protect your skin, and consider getting lipo to really appreciate your full results. I avoided lipo because fibrosis and scars but I trust my surgeon!

i’m officially 6 months out from my rib sculpting and overall i feel good about where i’m at. i only wore the corset for about 4 weeks, but my results have stayed consistent since then. my waist shape looks the same as those early healing months, i'm just fatter lol, which makes me happy because it means everything “stuck” even without long corset use.
the first month came with some pain, but after week 4 it really calmed down. now i don’t deal with any daily discomfort. every once in a while i’ll get a little burning sensation on my left rib, but it’s temporary and doesn’t bother me much.
clothes definitely fit tighter in my waist, i have a deeper back arch, and i feel more confident in form-fitting dresses. recovery was easier than i thought it would be and i don’t feel restricted with breathing or movement at all.
overall, i’m really pleased with the outcome so far. i feel more sculpted, feminine, and comfortable in my body. i’m glad i went through with it!! even though i only lost 2-3 inches id easily do it again. totally worth it!!

oh and i'm not doing more ribs!!! my waist is already pushing uncanny territory. if my boobs wear smaller i would still do it. but the proportions would be too dramatic for my liking if i did more ribs. i'm going to focus on hip filler upkeep because that will bring me closer to my ideal body. so close!!!

i really recommend getting fat removal (invasive or non invasive) combined with this surgery to enhance the results. i have a lot of stomach fat and it makes my waist look bigger. i plan on getting 3 sessions of pb serum lipo enzymes, coolsculpting, and one round of cfu elife on my stomach and flanks to remove all fat. all non invasive techniques because i don't like lipo. all at vive med spa

5 months post i have not worn my corset and my bones and measurements are still the same!! the results don't look dramatic but trust me when i say my old boxy narrow body is GONE. looking back though it wasn't as bad as i thought and in some outfits it does look kinda goofy because my huge boobs and tiny waist. definitely cartoonish but styling is also very important. if i wear a baddie outfit vs leggings and a cardigan for example i just look like a normal girl with a nice body. does that make sense??? lol.
