>Any anon here have pectus excavatum (pic related)?
What up b. Former pectus bro here. Got it fixed years ago with the nuss procedure. Not a model by any means but it looks better than it did when i had a hole in my chest the size of my fist. The only regret is not doing it sooner, would have saved me years of bullying and not taking my shirt off because i was embarassed.
Tl, dr: Pectus Excavatum thread
>>767878508
>Pectus Excavatum
is it true that people who have this are the descendants of aliens
>>767878636
No but they're school shooters.
is nowdays ur chest "normal" ?
>>767878636
I fucking wish dude, but ive never seen a ufo nor been anally probed by a grey
>>767878508
I have it, but mine is asymmetrical, so when I went to get it fixed, they had issues and couldn't make it look normal. I never really got bullied, people would try, but I was a tough kid
22 years old now and I still have it
>>767878823
Its probably not normal. Im a fat fucking asshole and i still look pretty revolting.
But at least the huge fucking hole in my chest is gone.
I also think i can breathe better, but that might be psychosomatic
>>767879005
Hmm, where and how were you going to get it fixed?
That i know of there are two ways to fix it:
>1 they smash ur sternum and it grows back
>2 they put bars and ‘jack’ your sternum up until its straight
I did 2, and mine was pretty asymmetrical
>>767879156
They went for the bars, they found that it didn't work, so they busted up my sternum
that also didn't fix it, but it mostly helped
My chest is sunken up to the last few ribs which are normal. Makes it look like I have a shelf built into me. I gave up a long time ago on trying to form romantic relationships. Won't take my shirt off in public for anything. I also where two shirts at all times. A t-shirt and a baggy flannel to hid it.
>>767879303
I say mostly, but I now have random ribs jutting out oddly
>>767879347
Don't give up on sex dude. I have it too and if women notice it they don't seem to care all that much.
But it made me never feel good about taking my shirt off.
>>767878508
You ever hide something then put tape over and pull it out later ?
>>767879584
The last time I took my shirt off around a girl was at a water park. We are all getting undressed at the renta-locker and she sees what I look like
>holy shit anon what the fuck is wrong with you, do you need a protein shake or something
All I could do was stand there humiliated while everyone stared at me.
>>767879347
Op here, dont do this if at all possible.
I want to tell you dont be self conscious about ur chest its not a bbig deal, but it was a huge deal for me and i moved kountains to get it fixed.
I would look into doing the nuss procedure as soon as possible. Every year you wait the procedure becomes more painful
>>767879682
Ha no i never thought of that, i couldnt really hide shit but i coupd balance quarters in my hole
>>767878508
feel like this would just fucking kill you
>>767879877
Man that fucking sucks
>>767879877
I made a lot of friends when I was younger because the younger version of myself had good responses to those comments
I feel like I would have been bullied for it if I had behaved differently
>>767878508
Still got it mine ain't to bad only about a 2-2 1/4 inch inward at most. Makes running a bitch but not an issue for me so I probs won't get it fix till I need to as I am broke AF
I like my chest hole, I used to put cereal in it as a kid. No shame at all I like the "weirdness" of it. Never been bullied for it, was bullied for other things though. I never even considered fixing it
>>767878508
Eyy same here my dude. Didn't look anywhere as bad as that and I sure as hell didn't get picked on for it though. Used to lay on my back, pour milk in my chest, add cereal, and eat it for shits and giggles tho.
Fucking pulled right off the Wikipedia site:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pectus_excavatum
>>767880465
Lol, I am >>767880384
Looks like I'm not the only one who did the cereal thing
I have pidgeon chest
Huh this seems more common than I thought.
Mine's much smaller though. nothing like op pic.
How was the procedure
>>767878508
I'd rather have this than mantits, at least you can't notice that when clothed.
I have pectus carinatum
Pic related my chest at around 10 years old
Life is pain
>>767880193
holy shit this is me
how bad is mine, guys?
just took this
btw I think it's gotten a little worse over 10 years
1/2
>>767882602
2/2
btw it's about an inch deep at most concave part
>>767878508
A guy at my highschool years ago had this issue. He would always make jokes how he ate cereal out of his chest hole. Funny dude.
I have pectis but not the inward one but the one that pokes out, im not planning on getting it removed atm bc its not too much of a health risk, but the inward ones can be dangerous to your health
>>767882651
>>767882602
also, can anyone else see their heart beating when they breathe? I'm the anon that posted these pics and I can see it beating pretty strong when I hold my breath
but I also have a pretty strong heartbeat I think
>>767880843
You have a nice smile
>>767882651
>>767882602
>>767882915
also my doctor described me as mild-moderate a while back, but I'd consider myself moderate severity now
>>767878508
I have it, but not nearly to the extent in that picture. You can't really see it too much, but you can feel it. I avoid taking my shirt off, most just because I'm a little fat. I'm not too bothered with my weird chest dent.
>>767879893
Man I'm 28 years old. I'm wasting my time on some cosmetic surgery.
Didn't expect all these other anons. Sow do you lot deal with the loneliness?
>>767883617
*not wasting. I can't spell either.
Just seeing this makes my chest hurt.
>>767878508
>got rid of perfectly good dip cut.
WHY DID YOU DO THIS
>>767882651
>>767882602
what do you guys think about me?
>>767883722
what about these?
>>767882602
>>767882651
I have the asymmetrical type. It's minor. No physical hindrance. A doctor told me I could get cosmetic surgery for it but I opted not to.
some loser I went to elementary school with had this. We were playing kickball and I threw the ball at him to get him out and he got hit in the chest and almost died. what a fag
mfw
Hand pidgion. Got the surgery in my teens. Not perfect, but as I got older I’ve accepted it more and people quit being so petty about looks when they get out of high school and realize we all are flawed.
Never once has it stopped me from anything, and only a handful of girls I’ve hooked up with even mention it, and all have been cool with it.
>>767883617
>how do you deal with the lonileness
saving money to get this shit fixed, but otherwise still trying to get a gf like there's nothing wrong with my chest. This shit really impacts my confidence whenever I think about it tho. If I spend long enough not thinking about it I almost forget I have it. When that happens I'm at peace.
>>767882651
>>767882602
nobody?
>>767885121
I don't know what the fuck you are looking for anon. We're not going to flock to you rating your pictures like some dating website.
>>767885208
I just wanted to know how bad people think it is, why is that crazy? seems relevant for this thread
>>767882651
thats nothing
>>767885320
pic above it shows more
the lighting is tricky, I think it's a bit worse than what it shows
also, rib flare on left is a little worse than right
>>767878508
I have it. Doesn't bother me a bit. I am more embarrassed of my bowed legs.
>>767885295
those pics are too much to the side anon, I can't really tell.
>>767878508
procedure as in surgery? I just worked out my back abs and chest and posture. it slowly (and painfully) gradually started looking not as terrible. mostly flat now, pretty proud of the progress. saw and made thread years ago here and ye
>>767885544
also fitting fingers under ribcage to stretch diaphragm muscle was clutch in ''recovery''. pretty flat now
>>767885320
I know it sounds crazy but it def limits my breathing, but that's probably because I'm also not a very big guy
>>767885478
okay, what about this?
high contrast lighting, btw, prob makes it look worse than usual
>>767878508
I went to school with a kid that would eat cereal out of that shit in the morning
>>767885781
lay down and stretch diaphragm
>>767885781
and try tp keep core tight when sitting to strengthen core so it comes in
>>767885544
>>767885696
>>767878508
nigga why you fix that shit? you can eat cereal without a bowl
>>767885840
>>767885840
not a flattering angle
>>767886035
Wow, who taking the pic though?
>>767885781
I see now. It feels like it's about the depth of mine, but I was lucky to not have any problems breathing/heart related.
Conclusion: ppl will notice of course. I'm 23 and still saving for the surgery. You see what's best for you. Since it's a health hazard in your case maybe your health insurance might cover it? It's worth to check it out.
>>767882667
Did this dude go to ND?
>>767886150
honestly it might just be psychosomatic mostly
Had the nuss procedure almost 20 years ago. Didn't even know it was a thing till I was 16 and actually met doctor nuss in VA. Thankfully mine was more cosmetic than necessary though after found that it was affecting my breathing a bit
>>767878508
old friend of mine did. We lifted weights together, he got into competitive powerlifting and got pretty strong. Had a procedure done too, I dunno if he still lifts. All around good guy, no chip on his shoulder about it.
>>767886098
my laptop
okay this time I'm flexing my abs as some anon wanted me to do
sorry the shadow from my chair is making it look even weirder
>>767886321
If that's the case then your insurance might not cover the operation, but hey still worth looking into it. Otherwise we're walking the same path man, saving money to do the procedure someday.
>>767886075
I use to do this before mine was fixed not op
I have it and looking at these pictures make my chest hurt.
Mine is slightly worse than mild in my opinion. But it has never affected my confidence or anything so I never bothered.
How's the procedure? Painful and expensive?
I am also 6'7 180 so my chest is pretty skinny already.
>>767886463
I don't think it's worth it, too much money, time, and pain
I would if it was more obvious and affecting my health more
Former pectus bro here 5cm deep now 1.5cm deep, love that nuss procedure.
>>767886370
where are your pecs D:< uhh :S
>>767878819
is it bad that i know exactly which one that refers to?
>>767878508
>Hmm...He was behind of it.
>>767886510
If it's not affecting you it's not worth the money or pain that comes with it 2 years of pain anytime you cough or sneeze sucks
i just worked out, fuck surgery, core pecs back and posture
>>767886631
No pain or breathing issues here so I'll leave it.
I also couldn't be out work that much time recovering. All I do is physical activity.
>>767885989
shave the chest hair and it won't even be noticeable
>>767886787
Yeah looking at several months before being back to normal life
My gf of 10 years was born with it. She had surgery at 19 or 20. Looks good to me, but she thinks she looks deformed.
>>767878508
i knew a guy in high school with this. he would eat cereal out of his "chest hole"
My chest is also sunked but it could be easily hidden if I worked up, I think some muscles on pecs could make it look a bit normal.
At times I was embarassed about it because im really skinny and it would be easy to notice. but one year I just said fuck it and took my shirt off.
My girl even laughs about it from time to time, after sex she lays on top of me and sleeps there.
tl,dr: Ive got it, no shame, still get laid.
>>767886409
so this is probably the worst angle of me, and I'm not flexing or really breathing in too much
again, I think it's about 1 inch at most in worst area
what do you all think?
I don't think I need surgery just because my doc has said it's cosmetic
but I can see my heart beating when I breath in, can any of you other pectus bros?
Posting mine from a medfag thread a week ago, shits strange but you only get one body, make the most of it. Hasn't really been a huge issue with women.
>>767887970
how deep? show sides
>>767888040
Bout an inch, maybe inch and a quarter
>>767879005
Also asymmetrical. Left side is good, right side is recessed. Wasn't an issue until teasing started and that's when my folks started looking into it. That subsided after I learned how to handle situations. But when checking, cracking and resetting the sternum was the only option and that scared the hell out of me. The procedure itself freaked me out, and the time I wouldn't be able to play any sports also had me worried. We never went through with it, played baseball, football and basketball with no issues. It did affect me dating. It freaked a couple girls out when they saw it.
>>767887570
I can see my heart beat too when I breathe in. I’ve also been noticing discomfort in the middle of my chest and feeling like I can’t take a full breath. Going to the doctor to talk about nuss procedure soon.

>>767887034
Need pics of her chest
for science of course
>>767878508
You look like you got your shit fucked by a rhinoceros.
People with genetic defects like yours should be put down to keep the gene pool with healthy people, not freaks like you.
>>767888998
>You
>>767879984
Eventually it does
>>767889019
would you feel this way if your father, brother, or son had it?
>>767888898
SoaR zom is always here
I've got it slightly. Once had two girls use my chest for a salsa bowl.

>>767889273
Real mature anon.
>>767889254
seems like anything beyond 1 inch is more serious territory, I'm right on the line, between "mild" and "moderate"
>>767889372
I bet suckin' your daddy's dick made you feel like a big boy, eh?
>>767889479
There's no need to project your feelings onto me lad.
>>767889551
Your dad projected his feces onto your chest.
>>767889422
Damn. Hopefully the nuss procedure fixes it
How bad is mine?

I know I'm a hairy ugly fuck, but does it look like I have this? I used to be,really imsecure about this as a kid and have always had this moderately concave sinking in the middle of my chest which was present when I was skinnt and fit, and still present now years later with me out if shape with more meat. Thoughts? Never knew what it was, or that this was a thing. Pic 1/2
>>767889856

Front view
are any of yall niggas who have it skinny? i myself have it and am skinny as fuck despite being the unhealthiest nigga alive and i knew someone else who has it and he was also skinny and unhealthy. read up somewhere that niggas with it tend to be more skinny but there's no scientific evidence as far as im aware
>>767889775
you pwitty
>>767878508
*listens to the story so far once*
>>767890235
Definitely has a correlation to it. Been skinny my whole life. 57kg at the moment.
>>767890235
Indeed, anyone I know who has had it (including me >>767889297), tended to be quite skinny
>>767879347
honestly dude, I wouldn't worry about intimate relationships, it's really not a big deal. it's not a gross contagious disease, if your not the type of person to make a joke about it, straight up tell her it makes you feel weird. She'll only see it once because after that it's nothing new.
Not Swimming is just something you can avoid most your life, eventually you'll stop caring
any pectus bros bisexual?
all other guys I know with it are bi, because it doubles our dating pools
>>767888810
was it actually eric harris?
>>767879347
holy fuck I feel bad for you, but you are a fucking retard if you think girls care that much about your malformed beta body
>>767878508
did you ever eat cereal out of it
>>767892217
>>>767878508 (OP)
>did you ever eat cereal out of it
I keep tryna get my nigga at school to do that
it's never bothered me. just annoying because my pecs will never look good
this is one of the weirder recurring meme threads
this is about the 5th time I've seen it

I hate having it. My posture is so fucked up and it looks like I have a pot belly even though I'm super skinny...
Ignore the boobage lol

are you just bi?
cause goddam thats a nice dick ;)
>>767889775

just bi, mostly straight. and thx
>>767896104
I like your body... I'd do lewd things with you... I'm this guy btw...
>>767886409
>>767895576
You're clearly not super skinny and you can hardly even see your indent. How deep is it, 0.5 inches? Go to the gym, Mine's 2 inches deep and my posture is extremely fucked but it doesn't effect my life at all.
Go to the gym, work on your posture, and stop worrying about it. Chances are good that no one notices it, and even if they do, they don't care.
>>767896630
I'm 5'9" 115lbs I can't get any skinnier without fucking dying
>>767878508
those who had this and do the procedure, did it help with lung capacity? like did you find yourself getting tired faster than a regular person when exercising, and this helped? are people with this issue getting less oxygen than they're supposed to?

if anything, it accentuates your nice pecs. would nurse those nips in my mouth btw.

nobody really cares about it past high school, had a gf in college who didn't seem to mind it at all

reminds me of a time in freshman year that was kidna similar but not as bat
>chilling on a big sailboat for some summer thing with other kids from my school

>feel something poking in the center of my chest ditch, look forward and a qt has her finger there
>shes like whats this and I say that when I was a baby I got punched in the chest super hard
>she asks really? and a laugh in her face and say nah I was just born that way
looking back I probably came off as kind of a dick but it was pretty funny to me at the time
