Could A Greater Bulge On Left Rib Than Right In An Adolescent Indicate Something Serious?

Is it normal for my 10 year old daughter to have the left side of her ribs to be buldging out a lot more than the right side? It is really noticeable when she lays on her back. Is it something I need to worry about? Noticed it a couple years ago. But now that she hit puberty it is more noticeable.
