Katie Price ‘plans to remove ribs to shrink waist’ in extreme surgery so far

She sees surgery as a ‘form of escape’ and now it has been reported that Katie Price may be going under the knife in an offer to make her waist smaller in an extreme procedure

Katie Price is planning her ‘extreme surgery ever’ in a bid to shrink her waistline.

Sources told Closer Magazine that Katie is already planning her next procedure.

It was said that the former glamor model had issued warnings to cosmetic surgeons who “would not operate on her”.

The source explained that Katie’s next surgical stint “is to remove a rib to create a slim waist”.

Katie apparently misses “her old physique and feminine curves” – so she decided to go ahead with the drastic procedure.

People have 24 ribs, known as 12 pairs of ribs and they exist to protect our lungs, heart and other organs.

But some experts claim that we do not actually need all of our ribs, and that seven sets are all we need – because these are attached to the sternum and bones.

The five remaining sets are attached with cartilage tissue, referred to as “false ribs” with the lower two sets known as “floating ribs”.

These are usually the floating ribs that are removed when a person wants to proceed with the procedure, and there are small incisions on both sides of the spine to remove them from the rib cage.

But the procedure is not a walk in the park and actually comes with some hefty risks.

Due to this operation, there is a risk of a rib slipping into a hole in an internal organ like the lungs – which is why most surgeons in the UK refuse to perform it.

In addition to the knife for the rib removal to go under the knife, she also wants to get “lipo sculpture”, according to the publication.

This procedure is similar to liposuction and she wants to fly to Turkey to finish everything.

Her end goal is to have a “small waist” and she thinks that the rib removal “gives her an hourglass shape”.

The source told Maga: “She knows she’s going overboard and probably should be thinking about other things at the moment, but at the moment she just does not care.”
