Hot New Plastic Surgery Trend Is Rearranging Peoples Ribs

There’s now a $20-thousand surgery called RibXcar that literally repositions your ribs to help sculpt an ultra-defined hourglass waist. Using ultrasound and a tiny incision, surgeons shift the 10th through 12th ribs inward, followed by months in a tight corset to keep everything in place, “creating a more sculpted, defined, pinched waistline.” Recovery takes just a few weeks, and some patients are pairing it with weight loss meds and lipo for max results. Fans say "It’s giving Barbiecore-meets-body-hacking vibes, and is not your average glow-up".

I actually don't understand what that means.
