Body Contouring
A permanently defined waistline through ultrasound-guided reshaping of the lower ribs, with no bone removal and no visible scars.
RibXcar is a scarless, ultrasound-guided procedure that permanently narrows the waist by reshaping the lower floating ribs, without removing any bone. Elevé Cosmetic Surgery is now offering RibXcar in Davie, Florida, with Dr. Gevork Tatarian trained directly in the technique. The procedure can be performed standalone or combined with tummy tuck, Level Up Tuck, 360 liposuction, or BBL for a comprehensive body contouring result.
For decades, patients seeking dramatic waist definition had two options: temporary shaping through corset training, or highly invasive rib removal surgery. Rib removal is permanent, structurally altering, and leaves visible scars.
RibXcar changes that equation. Developed by Peruvian plastic surgeon Dr. Raúl M. Manzaneda Cipriani and first performed in late 2022, the technique uses ultrasound guidance and a piezotome device to precisely reshape ribs 10, 11, and 12, the floating ribs that define the waist, without removing any bone.
Only a small number of surgeons in the United States are formally trained in RibXcar. Dr. Gevork Tatarian completed hands-on training under Dr. Manzaneda Cipriani in the authentic technique, including safety protocols, patient selection, and post-operative management.
We pursued this training because our patients deserve access to the most advanced, evidence-based techniques in body contouring. RibXcar meets that standard.
Book a consultation with Dr. Tatarian in Davie. We'll evaluate your anatomy, listen to your goals, and walk you through whether standalone RibXcar or an integrated body contouring plan is the right approach for you.
