Surgeon: Rib Removal for Smaller Waist Is Risky, Not Recommended

Some people think celebrities get their ribs taken out to look slimmer.

This surgery removes the ribs that aren't attached to your breastbone, making your waist look smaller.

But, it doesn't actually help you lose weight, and it's not safe.

Doctors say it can hurt your organs and cause long-term pain.

It's better to focus on healthy ways to get in shape, like exercise and medical weight loss, instead of dangerous surgeries.

Remember, being healthy is more important than having a certain waist size.
