What Causes Left Chest Bone To Be Higher That The Right?

My 17 year old daughter's chest bone on left side is higher than on the right. Sometimes when she rubs the bone she says it is sore. The breast on that side is also smaller than the one on the right. She was being followed for scoliosis when she was young by her pediatrician but degree was never bad and then stopped. She is very self conscious about both. Is it possible this could possibly correct itself? She is approximately 5' 8" tall and weighs 139 lbs.
