Rib Subluxation in Tijuana (Rib Removal)
Refine your waistline like never before. Rib subluxation — also known as floating rib removal — is a specialized surgical technique that reduces the width of the lower torso by removing or adjusting a portion of the 11th and 12th ribs. It’s a popular procedure among models and influencers seeking a dramatic hourglass figure and ultra-snatched waist.
Performed under general anesthesia by expert surgeons at Vive Plastic Surgery, this procedure is ideal for patients who have already undergone liposuction or body sculpting but want more definition at the waistline.
