I've always heard about it, having a extra rib or two at the bottom that you dont need so people remove it ,Janet Jackson and supposely Beyonce did it to make thier abs or entire midsection shape a certain way and Marilyn Manson so he could....I dont even want to say it lol but can someone explain the reason behind it? What is the result of doing this?

It makes the hollow that makes up the waist start higher up. This wouls only really help a person with a short waist and a wide ribcage.

Of course, we all probably know that Adam, in the Bible, gave Eve one of his ribs so that she may exist. This is why all women have the extra rib. I was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, which means my body couldn't handle the extra rib due to lack of room. That is the one and only explanation for removing a rib. Anything else, like described by you is unorthodox. Shellie

People say that you do not need the extra ribs, called floating ribs, just so they can not feel bad about removing them. They get them removed so they can look thinner. If you did not need them, then why are they there? Why are we born with them? People just use that excuse of not needing them to be thin. But whats new? People use all sorts of methods and reasons to get thin and look a certain way. Should we be suprised that they cut their ribs out? The starve themselves, get plastic surgery and and work out 24/7, why not cut your ribs out?

Cher had it done a long time ago to get that long thin mid riff. Ribs are meant to protect you inner organs, so don't have them removed. We have them for a very good reason.

Manson didn't have this done to him...
And the reason for people doing this is obvious...
