What is Rib Remodeling Surgery?
Rib remodeling, also called rib repositioning or rib contouring, is a surgical procedure that adjusts the lower ribs to achieve a more sculpted waistline. By carefully modifying the shape or placement of select ribs, Dr. Stan creates a more balanced silhouette while protecting the structure and safety of the rib cage. This procedure is ideal for patients seeking permanent refinement of their torso contour.
Our Rib Remodeling & Repositioning Options
Everybody is unique, and so is every rib remodeling plan. Depending on your goals, Dr. Stan may recommend:
Rib Shaping: Reshaping the curvature of the lower ribs to narrow the waistline.
Rib Repositioning: Adjusting the orientation of certain ribs to create a smoother, more flattering line along the torso.
Each approach is carefully discussed and tailored to ensure optimal safety, aesthetics, and long-term satisfaction.
What Does a Rib Remodeling Procedure Involve?
Rib remodeling is performed under general anesthesia in our fully accredited surgical facility. The procedure typically includes:
A discreet incision, often hidden in the side or back area.
Careful shaping or repositioning of targeted ribs.
Closure with precise suturing to support optimal healing and minimal scarring.
Post-operative care designed to keep you comfortable and supported throughout your recovery.
Most patients can expect to return to light activity within a couple of weeks, with continued improvements in contour becoming more visible as swelling subsides.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rib Remodeling
How Painful Is Rib Remodeling?
Post-surgical discomfort is expected but very manageable. We provide thorough pain management strategies to ensure your recovery is as smooth and comfortable as possible. Most patients describe the discomfort as mild to moderate during the first few days.
Is Rib Repositioning Worth It?
For many patients, absolutely. Rib repositioning can create a permanent, dramatic change in body contour that diet and exercise alone cannot achieve. The physical transformation often leads to significant improvements in self-confidence and body image.
What Is the Recovery Time for Rib Remodeling?
While every patient heals differently, most can return to light activities within 2-3 weeks. Full recovery, including return to strenuous exercise, generally occurs over 6-8 weeks as swelling fully resolves.
Is It Possible to Reshape Your Ribs?
Yes. Through precise surgical techniques, Dr. Stan can safely reshape and reposition targeted rib segments to help you achieve your desired silhouette while preserving rib cage function and stability.
