Below Deck star reveals results of ‘snatched waist’ surgery

Former Below Deck Sailing Yacht star Alli Dore has gone under the knife for a controversial new cosmetic procedure. 

Dore, 37, recently flew to Bali, Indonesia, with a group of other reality stars and influencers to get the ‘rib recontouring’ surgery.

It involves liposuction to the waist, followed by a fracturing and reshaping of the lower ribs to create a more narrow waistline.

Dore shocked her fans after she unveiled the results of the surgery on Instagram this week, midway through her recovery process.

‘Just under halfway at 5.5 weeks out of 12 and already convinced this is the best thing I’ve done,’ she gushed.  

‘Thank you to the @_snatchedwaist team for making this such a positive experience!’

Fans were divided in the comments, with some praising the results, while others felt that Dore didn’t need to go under the knife. 

‘You looked so much better before, you looked healthier. But it’s your body and your decision so at the end of the day if it makes you feel happier that’s the only thing that is important,’ commented one. 

‘She is beautiful before and after as well. Stop the negative comments. You need to do what makes you happy and feel good,’ wrote another. 

A third wrote, ‘As women, let’s celebrate whatever makes another woman happy.’

Fellow Below Deck star Ashling Lorger even weighed in, writing, ‘Woah, how amazing!’ 

Daily Mail has contacted Dore for comment.  

Beverly Hills-based plastic surgeon Dr Cat Begovic previously warned Daily Mail about the potential risks of the controversial surgery.

‘Rib remodelling is a relatively new procedure, only becoming known to the public in the last few years,’ Dr Begovic explained.

‘Older versions of this procedure involved removing the lower ribs, but newer techniques involve making cuts in the lower ribs and then fracturing them inward.’ 

‘Patients need to wear a тιԍнт corset 24/7 for at least three months while the bones heal and mould into the smaller shape.’

Dr Begovic said while many patients are drawn to the dramatic waist-cinching effect, there are serious medical risks that cannot be ignored – including complications that can affect breathing.

‘Because the ribs are right next to the lungs there is a potential of developing a pneumothorax – where the sac around the lung is torn causing air to rush in and compress the lung, or injury to the lung itself,’ she said.

‘The biggest concern I have regarding this procedure is that there have been no long-term studies on the potential health risks.’

‘Other than lung injury, there can be chronic pain, possible decreased lung function, or compromise to the protection that the ribs provide.’

Dore starred on the second season of Bravo’s Below Deck Sailing Yacht back in 2021.

After appearing on the hit show, the mother-of-one admitted that she’d dealt with body image issues and an eating disorder.

‘I didn’t eat much, I thought being skinny was the only way to be confident,’ she reflected in a social media post. 

‘These dark little demons are hard to fight and I know how many women (and men!) can relate to that mentality which for some can push you to forget how to love the skin you’re in.’

She also admitted that she’d felt insecure about wearing a ʙικιɴι on camera during Below Deck Sailing Yacht, but has since found the confidence to accept her body.

‘Now, my priority isn’t to be as thin as I can, it is to fuel my body with healthy plant based nutrients and prioritise fitness and being active for my mental wellbeing, lifestyle and enjoyment, not solely to lose weight,’ she wrote. 

‘My body changed so much since I turned my life around and just getting used to a different body type was a whole journey in itself,’ she continued.

‘But being fit and prioritising nutrition means I get to enjoy life in a way that makes my heart sing.’
