Rib Remodeling (RibXcar®)
Advanced Waistline Sculpting with Dr. Puyana
Rib Remodeling Designed to Refine the Waist with Precision and Control
A well-defined waistline is one of the most powerful elements of body proportion. While exercise and fat reduction can enhance contour, skeletal structure ultimately determines the natural limits of the waist. Rib Remodeling (RibXcar®) is an advanced surgical technique designed to safely refine the waistline by reshaping the lower ribs — without visible incisions and with a strong emphasis on safety and control.
This technique has gained international recognition as a sophisticated option for patients seeking a more sculpted, hourglass silhouette when traditional body contouring alone is not enough.
At Puyana
Plastic Surgery
Dr. Salomon Puyana performs Rib Remodeling (RibXcar®) using a highly controlled, ultrasound-assisted approach that prioritizes precision, tissue protection, and refined aesthetic outcomes.

The result is a carefully engineered waist refinement that respects anatomy while delivering a visibly narrower, more sculpted silhouette.
What Is a Rib Remodeling (RibXcar®)?
Rib Remodeling (RibXcar®) is a minimally invasive surgical technique designed to reshape the lower ribs to enhance waist definition and overall body proportion.
Unlike older, aggressive methods, RibXcar®:
- Employs a piezotome to allow controlled bone remodeling
- Uses ultrasound guidance to increase precision and safety
- Avoids large or visible incisions
- Preserves surrounding tissues
The procedure is performed through small, discreet access points, resulting in no visible external scars. The goal is not rib removal, but controlled remodeling to achieve a smoother, narrower waistline that integrates naturally with the rest of the body.
Why Choose Rib Remodeling (RibXcar®)?
Patients choose Rib Remodeling (RibXcar®) when they want to:
- Enhance waistline definition beyond what fat removal alone can achieve
- Improve overall body proportion and silhouette
- Achieve a more sculpted waist without visible incisions
- Benefit from a technique designed with safety and control in mind
When performed by an experienced surgeon using modern technology, rib remodeling can provide subtle yet powerful improvements to body shape while maintaining a natural appearance.

What to Expect Before, During, & After Surgery
Pre-Surgery Planning
Dr. Salomon Puyana conducts a comprehensive consultation, evaluates skeletal structure and body proportions, and determines whether RibXcar® is appropriate for your goals.
Procedure Day
The procedure is performed in our fully accredited surgical facility using ultrasound-assisted technology and precision instruments. Patients return home the same day.
Recovery
Recovery varies by individual. Swelling gradually subsides, and waistline definition becomes increasingly apparent as healing progresses. A compression corset must be worn continuously for approximately 3 months, as it plays a key role in supporting healing and optimizing the final waist contour.
Frequently Asked Questions
About Rib Remodeling (RibXcar®)
No. The technique reshapes the ribs rather than removing them.
No visible external incisions are used.
Yes. When performed with ultrasound and precision instruments by an experienced surgeon, it is designed with safety as a priority.
Patients seeking enhanced waist definition with realistic expectations.
Yes, often for comprehensive contouring.
Yes, the structural change is long-lasting.
Recovery varies but is generally manageable.
No. Men may also be candidates.
No. Rib remodeling does not affect breathing or lung function.
A significant portion of the result is visible immediately. As swelling decreases and the corset is worn as instructed, the waist continues to refine and appear smaller. Final results become more defined over the following weeks.
