Rib Remodeling

Redefine Your Waistline for an Hourglass Figure

A tapered hourglass waist is the ultimate silhouette, looking phenomenal in any outfit and in any photo. If your waist is wider than you’d like—despite being lean, active, or at a stable weight—the issue may be structural. In some patients, the shape of the lower ribcage affects how narrow the waist appears from the front and side.

Rib remodeling (B-Waist) is an advanced body contouring approach designed to refine the waistline by addressing structural influences on midsection shape. It can create a more defined, feminine waist contour that complements the natural curves of the body.

What Is Rib Remodeling?

A wide or straight waist is not always caused by excess fat and cannot always be corrected with liposuction alone. In some individuals—even those with a slim build—a square or rectangular waist shape can be influenced by rib flare, also known as lower rib projection.

Rib remodeling is a structural contouring procedure designed to soften outward rib projection and enhance waist taper as part of a customized body contouring plan. Rather than focusing solely on fat removal, this approach considers how the ribcage contributes to the overall silhouette of the midsection and seeks to create a dramatic cinched silhouette.


Benefits of Rib Remodeling

The main benefit of rib remodeling is a permanent hourglass figure. Other benefits include:

  • A more tapered, feminine, or “snatched” waistline
  • Improved waist definition from the front, side, and oblique angles
  • A defined waistline that diet and exercise cannot achieve
  • Enhanced waist-to-hip ratio and a curvier silhouette
  • Increased confidence and self-image
  • Natural-looking results

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Rib Remodeling?

The ideal candidate for rib remodeling:

  • Wants a narrower waist appearance that fitness alone has not achieved
  • Has a naturally broader lower rib outline affecting waist shape
  • Is at or near their ideal weight
  • Understands that this is a contouring procedure, not weight loss
  • Is in good overall health
  • Can follow post-operative instructions

To learn if you’re a candidate for rib remodeling, call Le Contour Aesthetic Surgery at (407) 447-1628.

How Rib Remodeling Is Performed

Rib remodeling is typically an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Gonzalez makes tiny incisions in the back and gently reshapes the lower ribs, repositioning them inward for a more tapered look. Typically, the focus is on the lower floating ribs—ribs 10, 11, and 12.

Dr. Gonzalez then closes the incisions, and a support garment or corset is applied to help manage swelling and hold your shape as you heal.

Rib remodeling can be performed on its own, or combined with complementary procedures such as:

Rib Remodeling Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery varies from patient to patient, and depending on whether rib remodeling is performed alone or alongside other procedures.

Most patients can expect:

  • Early swelling and a tight sensation throughout the waist
  • Using their compression garments throughout recovery
  • Activity restrictions for several weeks
  • Gradual refinement of results as swelling resides

Dr. Gonzalez and his team provide detailed aftercare instructions. For an optimal recovery, follow these carefully and attend all follow-up appointments.

What Results Can I Expect From Rib Remodeling?

Initial results are usually obscured by swelling. As this resolves, your final waist definition will become more apparent. The goal of rib remodeling is a refined, proportionate waist contour that looks natural and balanced.

Results are typically long-lasting, as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle and a stable weight.

  • Is B-Waist the same as liposuction?

    No. Liposuction addresses fat; B-Waist focuses on structural contour strategy. Some patients benefit from combining both.


  • How soon will I see results?

    Changes are visible early, but swelling can temporarily disguise definition. Contour typically refines over the course of three to six months.


  • Am I a candidate if I’m very lean?

    Some lean patients inquire because structure—not fat—is the limiting factor. Candidacy depends on anatomy and safety, but these patients are often seeking exactly this method of structure-based body contouring over other strategies like fat reduction.
