Corseting Ribs a Bit?

So I know there are some things I can't change, but I'd like to lessen the damage. I just started a thread asking for opinions on how to lessen my hand veins, one of my prime insecurities, now I guess I'll ask for advice on the other big one.

Has anyone corset trained and had success in permanently tapering your rib cage a decent bit? I know you can technically reshape the upper ribs attached to the sternum, but that it is extreme. I also feel with breasts my upper rib cage won't be an issue. It's the non-connected ribs below the sternum that I'd like to address. I'd be nice if I could get these ribs to taper inward from the front and in from the sides as well (I guess maybe allowing me a smaller waist). I can literally push my ribs into the position where I'd want them to be but then they move back out. Is it reasonable to assume that I could noticeably "reshape" these moveable ribs permanently if I dedicated to corset train for about 3-4 year (maybe more) on a 23/7 basis at 26 years old?

thank you in advance all around....

Mine lowers are gradually shifting, but 23/7 just will not work at the start. The pain would drive you insane. I started with 2 or 3 hours a day for several months and even then got sore very quickly. I am up to about 8 hours a day now, but be prepared for slow going. There are a lot of good corset training videos on YouTube. Be sure to get a good steel boned heavy corset. They can be pricey, but if you want results you will want one. Also DO NOT go to full tightness at the start. Start snug, a few hours a day and adjust accordingly or you will misshape the ribbing of the corset. It is slow going process, but does pay off in the end. :)
