Many people do not prefer surgery, as it is extremely invasive and very painful. Some options that can be considered are bracing, where you apply pressure to your flaring ribs for an extended period of time and it forces your sternum out and the flaring ribs back in. LaceIT's PE brace has received very good reviews.
Yes, pectus excavatum, a condition where the chest wall sinks inward, can sometimes put pressure on internal organs like the heart and lungs. It can potentially lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest pain, and reduced exercise tolerance. In severe cases, surgical correction may be considered to relieve the pressure on internal organs.
The condition is called pectus excavatum, also known as funnel chest. It is a deformity of the chest wall in which the breastbone (sternum) sinks inward, causing the chest to look caved in or sunken.
odds are if your chest appears caved in then the first thing you should check is your shoulder position. Stand in front of a mirror with a side view and see how your shoulders are positions. If your shoulders are hunched forward then you need to relax your shoulders and position them in a down and back position. Strengthening your rear delt will help keep your shoulders back and correct your poster issues.

Pectus excavatum is a malformation of the chest in which the patient's breastbone, or sternum, is sunken inward.
Specific pectus excavatum surgery risks may include lung collapse (pneumothorax) and the recurrence of the funnel chest. Bar displacement may occasionally require repositioning.
If your willing to be dedicated with Bracing, it can correct it over time. Bracing helps tremendously with the rib flaring, but it definitely depends on the type of brace that you use. An orthotic company called LaceIT has a brace specifically for it, and I have heard very good reviews about it from Pectus Excavatum sufferers. To find out more check out the Related Link below.

i have the same question..............
A pediatrician diagnoses pectus excavatum after observing a child when he or she inhales, exhales, and rests. The pediatrician also calculates the depth of the chest from front to back using x rays.
In the United States, pectus excavatum is the most common chest wall deformity observed in children, occurring more commonly in boys than in girls.
Of course you could be! Having this surgery corrects the original problem you had (sunken chest wall) When you have had the surgery and recovery has taken place you should be as "normal" as anyone else seeking employment. Go for it!!
I also have a pectus excavatum. If i were you, I would ask my doctor. There are many ways to fixing this such as a brace that you wear that eventually fixes the problem.
A few patients with Marfan may have a pectus excavatum on one side of their chest and a pectus carinatum on the other.
