RIBXCAR Takes Tokyo: A Groundbreaking Aesthetic Surgery Seminar
In a groundbreaking event held on November 18-19, 2025, Tokyo witnessed the first-ever seminar on RIBXCAR (Rib Remodeling Surgery), organized by the medical corporation Yuubikai at Casa de GRACIA GINZA. This special two-day seminar attracted 16 aesthetic surgeons from Japan and overseas, where the esteemed Dr. Raúl Manzaneda Cipriani from Peru provided advanced practical training in this innovative body contouring technique.
A New Approach to Body Contouring
RIBXCAR, touted as a revolutionary aesthetic procedure, fundamentally changes body lines in ways traditional techniques like liposuction and muscle training cannot. By precisely adjusting the angles of the 10th, 11th, and 12th ribs, RIBXCAR creates ideal waistlines at the skeletal level. This novel method shifts the focus of cosmetic surgery from merely removing fat to redesigning the skeleton itself.
Using micro-needles the size of an IV, the RIBXCAR technique beautifully redefines the rib cage's structure, allowing even slim individuals to achieve stunning hourglass figures. Notably, this procedure can create lasting, attractive silhouettes by improving skeletal structure regardless of fat quantity or muscle build. The surgical time is impressively short, averaging between 30 minutes to an hour, making it a minimally invasive procedure that is gaining attention worldwide.
The Visionary Behind RIBXCAR: Dr. Cipriani
Dr. Raúl Manzaneda Cipriani, who visited Japan specifically for this seminar, stands at the forefront of modern aesthetic surgery. Based in Peru, Dr. Cipriani is recognized internationally for his expertise and innovation, with a substantial following on Instagram, surpassing 2 million. His case studies are followed closely by cosmetic surgeons worldwide. Additionally, he is known for developing several innovative techniques in the field, solidifying his reputation as a pioneer in Latin American aesthetic surgery.
Intensive Training and Live Surgery in Tokyo
The seminar was structured into two jam-packed days. The first day took place in Narita, where participants engaged in theoretical and practical training on RIBXCAR techniques. The sessions covered anatomical knowledge, step-by-step procedural mastery, establishing selection criteria for cases, and managing risk protocols, equipping participants with comprehensive information vital for clinical implementation. The interactive format encouraged attendees to engage actively, with numerous questions and vibrant discussions enriched the learning experience.
On the second day, participants convened at Casa de GRACIA GINZA in Tokyo for live surgery, where Dr. Cipriani led real operations on patients. The attendees had the unique opportunity to see firsthand how the theoretical aspects learned the day prior are applied in real clinical settings. A series of surgeries were performed with all participants involved, making it a rich educational experience.
Upcoming RIBXCAR Seminar
Responding to high demand from medical professionals who could not attend, Casa de GRACIA GINZA is pleased to announce the next seminar scheduled for April 7-9, 2026. This upcoming session will feature an expanded curriculum, including not only RIBXCAR but also FrontXrib, XpainFat, Ilac crest reduction, and Gluteal implantation, all incorporated into a comprehensive body contouring program. The details will be officially released in January 2026, and interested medical professionals are encouraged to reach out to Casa de GRACIA GINZA for further inquiries.
Conclusion
The inaugural RIBXCAR seminar in Tokyo marked a significant advancement in aesthetic surgery education, leaving participants inspired and eager for the next opportunity to learn.
