Rib Remodeling: A New Route to a Narrower Waist Without Bone Removal

A new plastic surgery trend called rib remodeling surgically reshapes the lower ribs to make the waist slimmer without bone removal; the procedure costs roughly $10,000–$15,000, has about a three-month recovery during which patients wear a corset, and carries risks such as lung injury. The rise is linked to social media visibility, reduced stigma around cosmetic procedures, and GLP-1 weight-loss meds, with clients typically already thin seeking a more pronounced waist (including some transgender individuals).

Body positivity endures as slimming trends rise with GLP-1 era

A Axios piece argues the body positivity movement remains vital even as a GLP-1–driven slimming trend and celebrity focus dominate media, risking a return to thin-ideal norms. Experts warn this creates a two-tier world where access to medical weight interventions shapes self-perception and mental health, while activists emphasize reframing GLP-1s as disease-treating tools rather than vanity products. The fight for body diversity is framed as a social-justice issue that remains ongoing despite changing trends.

Explant and freedom: why I chose a flat chest after decades with implants

Through interviews with surgeons and other women who have gone flat, the piece covers the recovery, costs, and options like lifts or flat closures, underscoring that femininity and vitality can exist with a natural silhouette.

From Losing 150 Pounds to Rewriting Her Image: Ten Surgeries, One Journey

After dropping 150 pounds via gastric sleeve, a Glasgow woman confronted persistent loose skin and body dysmorphia. She financed and underwent ten cosmetic surgeries—five in Istanbul in 2021 (360-degree tummy tuck, breast lift/implants, liposuction, lip lift) and five more on her face in 2025 (midface lift, rhinoplasty, canthoplasty, brow lift, fat graft)—spending about $29,000. She now reports improved self‑perception and urges careful, well‑considered decisions rather than acting on impulse or others’ expectations, though online attention remains challenging.

AI mirrors give blind people a new view of themselves

AI-powered apps like Be My Eyes and Envision act as audible mirrors for blind users, providing real-time feedback on appearance and makeup guidance, a development that can empower self-image but also raises concerns about AI bias, accuracy (including hallucinations), and potential mental-health effects, with limited research on long-term impact.
