Meet the woman who had six ribs removed to achieve a tiny waist and even plans to turn them into a crown. 

Emily James underwent cosmetic surgery that cost a whooping $17,000 (£13,568) in order to have a smaller waist. 

Emily from Kansas City, Missouri, USA, shared the journey of her unusual cosmetic procedure on the internet to many mixed reviews. 

During the recovery process she had to wear a corset 24/7 to help with swelling and she continued to post her recovery journey online.
