The 37-year-old traveled to Beverly Hills for the procedure, performed by surgeon Dr. Obaid Chaudhry, and shared details about what it involved and what the recovery process entails.

Tiffany told The Daily Mail that her insecurities about her appearance stemmed from the bullying she experienced as a child.
The Midwestern mom said she tried to slim her waist through exercise and a strict diet, but none of those methods worked.
"This was the only way I could achieve this shape and I'm obsessed with the results,” she said of the surgery.

Tiffany told the outlet she was put under general anesthesia before having her ribs fractured and reset into their new position.
“So all of the ribs are fractured and then he pushes them in. He has this device, it's like a needle, and there's a few tiny holes in my back and then a few holes in the front up top,” she summarized.
The surgeon pressed the ultrasound-guided tool into the holes to crack the bones, then pushed and molded them into the desired position.

To recover from the procedure, Tiffany, who has spent over $100,000 on plastic surgery over the past few years, now has to wear a corset that stabilizes her ribs in their new position.

She also has to wear a compression girdle, also known as a faja, for three months, as she recently underwent liposuction on her hips, waist, and lower back.
The mom said she’s “uncomfortable” but not in “pain” following the surgeries.
“I can't sleep on my side because it could affect the way my bones heal,” she shared. “Bause of the faja and the corset I just feel very compressed and stuffy. I feel like a burrito.”

She has also had less invasive treatments, such as Botox and fillers.

Tiffany, who works in the adult entertainment industry, views these body-altering procedures as a way to increase her earning potential.
“I feel powerful, s*xy, and more like myself than ever before - and the more I invest in myself, the more love I get from my fans. There’s a market for everything and this is where I thrive,” she said.
Next on her list of plastic surgeries is a neck lift and a hair transplant, “because my hair is getting thinner.”

Rib remodeling is quickly becoming fashionable in the United States and around the world, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
"This procedure is new to the US," explained Dr. Josef Hadeed. "As recently as summer of 2024, most patients had never heard of it. However, in recent months, the demand has certainly increased.”
Dr. Hadeed told Allure that he currently averages seven rib surgeries a month.
According to the surgeon, rib remodeling was designed to be minimally invasive and safer than rib removal surgery.
He said the procedure offers “an effective option for people who want to fine-tune their natural shape and aren’t looking for a drastic alteration in their waistline.”

Some surgeons, however, consider this surgery more dangerous than other cosmetic procedures due to the risk of pneumothorax, a potentially life-threatening event that occurs when air enters the chest cavity, putting pressure on a lung and causing it to collapse.
If not treated immediately, it can lead to hospitalization or, in rare cases, cardiac arrest.
Because rib remodeling is still in its infancy, many experts are waiting to see the outcomes of initial cases before offering the procedure to their patients.
