How Stable Are The Results from RibXcar?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I do have a couple of follow-up questions as I think through which approach would be the best fit for my goals:

For Rib Xcar, since the permanence is listed as dependent on corset wear, is there any updated information on how stable the results tend to be long term once patients stop wearing the garment?
For rib removal, is there an estimate of the typical amount of waist reduction patients with a frame similar to mine can expect?

A: In answer to your rib remodeling questions:

1) is there any long term data about the stability of the ribs in RibXcar? Not that I have seen which doesn’t mean it does not exist…just that I have not seen it. Presumably after 3 months the ribs have healed in their new shape.

2) The range of 1″to 3″ of waist reduction base on what patients have told me.
