Is it normal that rib removal surgery is a thing?

I had absolutely no idea until now that this is actually a thing. Fucking hell, why the hell would you do that? Ribs are there to protect your vital organs! Fucking disgusting and barbaric! This is the kind of stuff that makes me lose hope in humanity.

    There are some medical reasons why someone would legitimately need a rib removed, so I'm not surprised that it exists. To use it as a cosmetic surgery is especially stupid, even compared to other cosmetic surgeries.

    You can but it's going to be a bitch to find a surgeon that will also not steal your organs.

    It was started around that marilyn Manson had one removed so that he could perform autofellatio.

    At the old Target store location I worked at, I used to have a coworker that would always wear heels. She had her pinky toes removed so she could wear heels 24/7. She showed me her feet and they looked fucking weird. XD

    I don't click on links but is that video of the same woman who (along with 6 ribs removed) traveled to India to have implants put in her eyes to permanently change her eye color?

      It's a youtube video dude... I get not clicking on shortened stuff like bit.ly, or ad.fly followed by random characters, but here you clearly see a safe link.

        I had no idea my comment would offend anyone. Please accept my apologies.

          I'm not offended, just saying. No need to be on edge.

    • Yep. She actually seems like a really friendly individual. Dumb as hell, but friendly.

      What do you mean, "urban myth"? Rib removal surgery is a thing that exists; there are situations in which people would need to have a rib or a few removed. Since there are surgeries involving rib removal, you'd only have to find a doctor willing to do it as a cosmetic surgery, and I'm fairly certain that at least one exists.

    Imagine thinking anyone would open your link.

    Anywa, yes it's a choice. Get over it.

    Didn't Marilyn Manson do this with his 2 lowest ribs so he'd be able to suck his own dick?

    • I swear I read a comment on here at some point that talked about how throughout the past hundred fifty something years music history there have numerous claims of just that on musicians or celebrities

      Marilyn Manson didn't have that done, I looked it up once. I hope I'm not wrong though 🙄

        Hope he (or anyone) didn't either (though i'm sure someone has), that would be kind of stupid.

    • Maybe, I dunno. But this chick removed fucking half of them! If I were to punch her in the chest, she'd probably die on the spot.
