Waist Remodeling Without Incision, With Ultrasound-guided Monocortical Fracture: Report of 220 Patients

In rib reshaping, it is known that the waist plays a role in defining the structure and harmony of the body. There are techniques as part of the costal remodeling that allow for achieving a narrower and more defined waist and generate a harmonious transition from the waist to the hip in the body of the patients. Waist remodeling without incision, with ultrasound-guided monocortical fracture (RibXcar), is a noninvasive technique that does not leave scars and helps sculpt the desired shape of the waist. The technique was applied to 220 patients who voluntarily consented under informed consent. Sociodemographic data were collected from an initial evaluation. Likewise, waist measurements were taken from patients preoperatively and 6 months after the intervention. RibXcar is safe; no serious complications were evidenced, and minor complications due to pain were adequately treated. As for the results, it was found that body measurements of the waist before the operation and 6 months after evidenced a reduction of between 6 and 11 cm less in the diameter of the waist after the application of the technique. RibXcar is an innovative, safe, and aesthetically pleasing technique without scarring or serious complications.
