KIM Kardashian West is putting her life and marriage at risk with surgery to remove her ribs, horrified family friends exclusively told The National ENQUIRER.
The 34-year-old reality TV sexpot has flaunted her bizarre quirk of wearing a corset while working out to whittle her waist.
But Kim is unhappy with the results and hunting for a surgeon to perform the controversial procedure, insiders said. “It’s extreme surgery – and it’s illegal in the United States – but it does work,” a pal told The ENQUIRER. “Kim’s convinced it’s the only way to get the extreme hourglass shape she wants. She’ll probably have it done in Asia.”
The procedure, known as a costectomy, involves removing the twelfth, eleventh and sometimes the tenth rib to create a slimmer waist. Several celebrities, including Cher, Prince, Pamela Anderson and Raquel Welch, are rumored to have had the procedure.
