Pectus Excavatum

Insurance should cover most of it if you can show that it effects your breathing.

Easy enough, when they give you the blow text just do a half assed job.

Most doctors and especially surgeons WANT you to have the surgery.

That's how they get paid.

They will help with whatever it takes to ensure insurance covers it.

Tell the doc you get out of breath a lot when exercising.

Out of pocket its probably 40,000 USD.

With insurance it's probably like a 2,000 - which you can pay back on a payment plan.

RESULTS:
The median values of penile dimensions recorded in the present study are flaccid length 9.0 cm, flaccid circumference, at the middle of the shaft, 10.0 cm, and stretched length 12.5 cm. We also observed that the penile dimensions are highly correlated with height and weight.

As far as I'm aware, unless you know that it's impacting your health, and all it amounts to is a small cosmetic thing, then it's probably not worth spending money trying to adjust, unless it really bugs you. If so, then get a doctor's and or specialist's opinion of it first.

I likely have a small case of it. Since I've been lifting, it's become a bit more noticeable, but otherwise I haven't noticed any difficulty breathing, or handling weights.

So far it's more or less a small shallow triangle on my sternum, so if anything, it amounts to me never having an ideal aesthetic chest, if my pecs never grow towards the center of my chest, which I think will be the case at this point.

If anything, building muscle and keeping a proper posture has had some minor improvements of reducing the appearance of it for me. The other option would be to not grow pecs.

Thanks for the info! Peace bro.

reminder that it's one of the most painful surgeries on earth.

There are two ways it can be done:
Insert a metal bar under your ribs for years, with long and painful recovery time.
Or remove/reshape your sternum and the ribs nearby and connect them back together with metal. This one has shorter but still painful recovery time but it pretty much blows your chest up.

Oh and both can be botched unless the surgeon is experienced

Nice try. Kys.
