Once they used to wear corsets to make the ribcages appear smaller, but it was a temporary fix, only used for going to dances and such. You might´ve heard of women fainting when they were using them because they couldn´t breathe well. I seriously think this is quite inhuman! Luckily this was centuries ago, now we are "allowed" to move freely.
I also think Marlene Dietrich had some of her lower ribs removed to seem slimmer, and some of her molars as well to have more pronounced cheekbones, very creepy... personally I think there´s something sinister about doing that to yourself.
So my advise would be to not worry about it and concentrate on the things you do like about your body. Also, try to be nice and nurturing to your body, have a foot massage, a nice bath, do some exercize you enjoy - be it dancing, yoga, swimming, whatever. No need to torture yourself!
