Tibetan113,
Thanks, I just put up my own thread in the underdeveloped breast forums. Maybe, someone else out there has what I have and can help out. There are plenty of pictures online of what pectus excavatum looks like with a few x-rays. It moves your heart more to the left side of your body so I have asymmetry as well. I would do surgery but its very painful, there are 2 procedures one call the Nuss procedure and the other called Ravitch procedure. I would rather do the brace that Brazilian Dr. Haje has developed but the only place to get the brace as far as I know is Brazil.
