Diet and exercise can go a long way toward keeping us healthy, but factors beyond our control often keep us from getting our desired body shape. One of these factors is rib positioning. While liposuction can smooth away stubborn fat and improve waist definition, it can’t narrow a wide ribcage. Fortunately, with RibXcar, you can achieve an hourglass figure—no rib removal required!
As one of the first U.S. plastic surgeons to master this new minimally invasive technique, I help patients reach their body contouring goals beyond what they can achieve with a tummy tuck or liposuction alone. Thanks to headline-grabbing transformations and the viral popularity of terms like “Invisarib” and “snatched waist,” global interest in this revolutionary procedure continues to spread, leading many people to ask: How much does RibXcar cost, and is it worth the investment?
What Is RibXcar?
RibXcar is a waist narrowing surgery that uses ultrasound guidance and pinhole-sized incisions to reshape and reposition the lower floating ribs. Unlike older, more aggressive procedures, RibXcar does not require rib removal for a smaller waist; instead, it uses a postoperative corset for 6 weeks to train your muscles to hold your ribs in their new, narrower placement.
These minute adjustments over time (much like how Invisalign retainers work) lead to safer, more sustainable results. It has earned the nickname “Invisarib” among social media influencers and beauty enthusiasts for its ability to deliver an hourglass figure without visible signs of surgical intervention.
How Much Does RibXcar Cost?
Patients can generally expect a price in the range of $12,000 to $14,000, but your cost for this rib remodeling procedure will vary depending on several factors, including:
- Your individual anatomy
- The surgery’s complexity (whether you are targeting 2, 4, 6, or 8 ribs)
- Whether you are combining it with other body contouring treatments
The cost at our practice includes all pre-op and post-op care, anesthesia, and facility fees.
Many patients get the best results when undergoing multi-procedure transformations, such as mommy makeovers, or combining RibXcar with liposuction or a tummy tuck. Scheduling your waist reduction surgery as part of a larger surgical plan can streamline costs and recovery time. My practice also offers flexible financing options to keep your costs manageable.
As Seen in the Headlines
RibXcar—and my role in advancing this revolutionary technique—has been featured in several high-profile media outlets, including the Daily Mail, New York Post, and PEOPLE magazine.
These viral stories and rib repositioning before-and-after photos highlight RibXcar as a powerful, minimally invasive solution for achieving an hourglass look, especially when traditional body contouring procedures fall short.
Is RibXcar Right for You?
If you’ve been chasing that elusive “snatched waist” with no success—despite diet, workouts, or even past cosmetic surgery—RibXcar may offer the final step to unlocking your ideal silhouette. This procedure is an excellent option for patients in good health who are close to their goal weight and seeking a lasting, sculpted waistline that looks great from every angle.
The best way to know if this procedure is right for you is to schedule a consultation to discuss your case with me in person. During this appointment, we will cover your health history and aesthetic goals. We’ll also discuss whether RibXcar, another body contouring procedure, or a combined treatment plan is most appropriate for you.
