Rib removal

So, I know A LOT of opinions will be ‘why would you even want to’.

And I get it, it’s extreme. But the more I’ve thought about it, the more desensitised I am to the idea.

But what is everyone’s opinions on the removal of the 11th and 12th ribs (the floating ribs). In order to create a smaller waist?

I don’t know of a single person who has done it, but I am someone who is very conscious of their appearance and I’m honestly potentially considering it. There’s only one place in my city who offer the surgery. But I don’t know much about why the floating ribs are even there (considering they aren’t really covering much). And the risks associated with not having them there.

Opinions and insight is appreciated!

*EDIT* I probably should’ve mentioned, I’ve never had any sort of cosmetic procedure done. Not injection, surgery, not even laser hair removal. I haven’t even gone and had my eyebrows professionally done (do it myself)😂 I am fully intending to lose weight first, tone up and see how I feel. And I’m only 19. It’s just something which has particularly sparked my interest.
