Suffering From Mild Pectus Excavatum, Can I Opt For Cosmetic Surgery?
Hi I have a mild case of pectus excavatum, my lower back is uneven (right side is wider than the left), and my right clavicle appears to be shorter than the left. Is it possible that my right clavicle has curved due to poor posture? and is it possible to have surgery on pectus for cosmetic reasons?

Hi,
I have read your query.
If you have no problem of pain or breathlessness then you should not waste money for cosmetic surgery, otherwise its your choice always.
Yes bad posture right from childhood can lead to all this.
You should not get worried for all this, unless some problem as explained above start existing.
I hope you have get your answer.
Thanks.
