Dr. Michel Moutran Plastic Surgery
Pectus excavatum is anatomical setting of your thorax that in most cases doesn.t have any functional repercussion namely on your respiratory system.
If the outcome is the aesthetic aspect of your thorax then nuss procedure is an option but a heavy one. There are evidence based procedures that can give you the same aesthetic outcome while being minimal invasive. Specially designed silicone thorax implants can be an option and more recently fat transfer to the depressed area gives excellent and long lasting results. You could see a thoracic surgeon for the Nuss but a board certified plastic surgeon can help you with the aesthetic outcome if you don't have any functional impairment.
