How Much Iliac Crest Can You Reduce in One Session?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I was curious how much you could remove from the crest in one session or multiple sessions. es I was wondering just how much you could remove. I ask because when someone gets there ribs removed for cosmetic purposes, their. Hips can extra chunky.

A: Besides the fact that those results shown from rib removal, surgery are not common or achievable in most people and what you’re looking at are the effects of corseting, iliac ctest reduction,generally achieves 1.0 to 1.5cm reduction per side.
