B-Waist (Back Remodeling)
The B-Waist technique is performed to make the waist slimmer and more sculpted by remodeling the ribs and muscular structures of the lower abdominal region.
There are two approaches to this procedure: B-Waist with Titanium and B-Waist with Small Holes and Corset. Both techniques aim to create a more harmonious contour and slim the waist, but they have important differences regarding the type of incision, rib fixation and post-operative recovery.
B-Waist with Titanium
The Titanium B-Waist is a more robust approach, in which two incisions of approximately 3 cm are made in the 11th and 12th ribs to reshape them. After reshaping, a titanium plate is inserted to fix the ribs in the desired position, providing a more tapered and definitive waist contour.
Patients with wider bone structure: The technique is ideal for people who have wider ribs and who want a permanent waist refinement.
Patients seeking long-lasting results: With the use of the titanium plate, the remodeling of the ribs is permanent, eliminating the need to wear a corset after surgery. Women after pregnancy who need to refine their waist, in addition to abdominal remodeling.
Patients who do not want to wear a corset: For those who prefer not to go through the discomfort of wearing a corset during recovery, the titanium plate offers the advantage of not needing this garment post-operatively.
Advantages of the B-Waist with Titanium: Long-lasting fixation with the titanium plate, ensuring that the reshaped ribs maintain their new shape permanently.
Faster recovery: Without the need to wear a corset, the post-operative period tends to be faster and less uncomfortable.
Less impact on daily activities: By not needing to wear a corset, the patient can resume their daily activities more quickly.
Indications for the Titanium B-Waist
The B-Waist Small Hole Corset technique uses smaller incisions, usually no larger than 5 mm, at ribs 11 and 12. After the ribs have been reshaped, the patient must wear a corset for 2 months to ensure that the ribs heal in the correct position. The corset exerts pressure, helping to maintain the new shape of the waist while promoting healing.
Indications for the B-Waist with Small Holes and Corset:
Patients who want a less invasive technique: For those who prefer smaller incisions and don't mind wearing a corset during the recovery process.
Patients with less robust bone structure: The technique is indicated for people with a less wide waist, who do not require more aggressive remodeling. Women who have been pregnant and are looking for a more delicate way of remodeling their ribs, without the need for a very invasive approach.
Advantages of the B-Waist with Small Holes and Corset: Small incisions, resulting in discreet, almost invisible scars, when compared to larger incisions. Less invasive, with the remodeling of the ribs being performed in a less aggressive manner. Simpler recovery compared to other abdominal remodeling techniques, since the procedure does not require a very deep intervention.
An important point is the continuous use of the corset for up to two months, which can be uncomfortable for some patients.

WHICH TECHNIQUE IS BETTER
The B-Waist with Titanium and the B-Waist with Small Holes and Corset will depend on your personal preferences, body type, aesthetic goals and the specialist's recommendation. For results with less post-operative discomfort and with 3 cm incisions, the B-Waist with Titanium may be indicated. If you are already willing to wear the corset for two months, the B-Waist with Small Holes and Corset may be the most suitable option, especially for those seeking discreet scars and a more gradual recovery.
To find out which is the best option for your case, schedule a consultation with a specialist so that he/she can assess your needs and objectives, and advise you on the most appropriate procedure.
