How is a RibXcar rib reshaping procedure performed?
RibXcar isa new technique forrib reshaping that leaves no scars. No incisions are made in the flanks. The reshaping is performed using ultrasound, and the procedure is guided by ultrasound.
The RibXcar technique is arib-reshaping procedurethat involves fracturing the ribs. It is therefore much safer than the older technique of rib reshaping through resection (costectomy). It is the simplest procedure and the only one that preserves the integrity of the rib cage.
- To begin with, yourplastic surgeon will evaluatethe area using an ultrasound.
- He uses anatomical landmarks to refine the waistline so that it harmonizes with the rest of the body.
- The patient is placed undergeneral anesthesia.
- The surgeon performs a puncture in the lower right and left ribs.
- He then inserts a Piezotome® (an ultrasound device capable of producing 30,000 vibrations per second) through these puncture sites.
- It uses vibrations to weaken the bones of the lower ribs without making an incision.
- The final reshaping is achieved by applying pulsed vibrations generated by the device. The fracture follows an oblique line that creates a more hollow shape.
Throughout the procedure, the surgical site is monitored using ultrasound. This allows the surgeon to see exactly what he or she is doing, whichincreases the reliability and safety of the surgery.
What happens after rib contouring surgery?
After the surgeon has reshaped the ribs, anabdominal corset orcompression belt is placed around the patient’s torso. This compression garment exerts a compressive force that stabilizes the new angle of the ribs.
It is worn for at least 2 to 3 months after surgery, until the ribs have healed and the final result is achieved.
What are the results of ultrasound-assisted rib contouring?
A satisfaction survey was conducted following 30 rib contouring procedures performed on women aged 18 to 35 in Peru, Colombia, and Mexico in 2022.
The results are clear:100% of patients are satisfied with thelong-term outcome.
The study also showed that the newRibXcar cosmetic surgerytechnique makes it possible to:
- Effectively Reduce Waist Circumference
- Improve the body's overall aesthetic appearance
- Show off a flat stomach, curvy hips, and a round butt.
The level ofpostoperative satisfaction indicateda high and significant degree of acceptance: surgery is indeed effectivein permanently reducing waist size.
Important:
Tomaintain your results andstayslim, it’s essential to stick to ahealthy, balanced diet and get regularexercise.
RibXcar Reshaping vs. Conventional Rib Reshaping
Before the RibXcar technique was developed, rib reshaping was performed using a surgical saw or surgical shears. These instruments were used to break the patient’s lower ribs before removing them in cases of reshaping by resection.
- NO SCARS
- Protects the soft tissues (blood vessels, nerves, tendons, muscles) and cartilage near the ribs, as well as the entire rib cage andabdominal wall.
- Finer, more precise bone reshaping: reduced impact on the body and the rib cage.
- Greater reliability thanks to ultrasound-guided surgery.
- No jagged edges that create asymmetry at the hips and disrupt the harmony.
- Faster and less painful recovery.
- A less invasive surgical technique.
