I have a pectus excavatum, a deformed ribcage essentially.

I have a pectus excavatum, a deformed ribcage essentially. It's doesn't affect my health in any way I can tell other than making my body look weird. I was told that working pecs could help cover it up but I've been working pecs for a few months now and they're just starting to look like breasts. They have this weird kinda hanging feature. Will it get better as I keep going or am I just doomed?

      My ribs also flare up a bit at the bottom which makes me look fatter than I am, not that I'm especially skinny

      pectus is just an excuse to be lazy
      every time i see someone on here whining about it they have 0 muscle mass and a very mild case of it and they try to claim they look like shit because of their bones instead of accepting the fact that theyve been extremely lazy with their training

    It always gets better. Also, eat less.

      Just don't be fat and you'll look better.

      I can't even tell, you must have it mild. But really, you barely look as though you work out. You need to go a lot further and the access it. Right now you just look chubby/out of shape.

      And please shave that tiny patch of hair my man.

    You're just fat dude. Flared ribs can also be fixed with consistent core work and breathing exercises.

            rhetorical
            he would obviously look better with 30 pounds of muscle on his frame
            therefore there is something you can do about pectus
            its the same idea as when people say shit like "why lift if im short". yes lifting wont change your bones, but adding muscle on top of your bones will make you look better

        If it is that bad chest binding will absolutely fix it. Think of it as similar to braces straightening a person's teeth.

          Not if youre already an adult. At that point much more invasive measures are required and complication rates go up as you age

            If this was at all true corsets would not have been as effective as they were. The deformed skeletons of Victorian women have been found as a result of consistent binding. They could achieve some ridiculous proportions, a process that could take years but one that didn't begin at childhood.

              Dude are you moronic? Corsets compress from the outside which is the exact opposite of the nuss procedure. Corsets squish you to make you skinnier which is the problem you tard

                Are you stupid or was I just not being clear? Corsest are terrible yes but the point is they can be used to reshape or in this case, correct an issue like flared ribs. Obviously it would be stupid to bind to the point of reshaping the entire ribcage but adjusting the position of a few out of line problem ribs is entirely possible. Only an idiot would pay some shekelburg thousands of dollars for surgery.

                You apparently also have brain damage. Pectus is a separate condition you stupid homosexual, one I doubt you even have. I am not advocating for binding your chest to fix your man breasts.

                Jesus frick. Every post and image I've made was about pectus. Your original response was to a pectus image

                in which you talked about corsets. Go ahead and walk it back

                Please check again as to what image I was initially responding to you absolute smooth brain. Then go bind your man breasts, at least then other people won't have to look at your disgusting body.

                The one that specifically says pectus in the fricking watermark?

                Yeah that one. Now look past the watermark to the flared ribs. Then read his comment on flared ribs. A comment in reply discussing flared ribs. Then tie a rope around your neck and have a nice day you stupid homosexual.

                You jump in to an ongoing discussion to talk about your fat manbreasts and expect people to know what you're talking about? You are no better than a child or social spastic interruping people having a conversation to talk about dinosaurs.

    You are fat and unfit, how you'd look like if you weren't is just a baseless speculation at this point.

    Oh my fricking goodness, is this what it's called?! I've been slim my whole life but my upper ab area bulges out and makes it look like I have a big gut mid-torso. My pecs have always been defined yet the bulge sticks out further making my proportions look off.

    You have a mild one. So do I, it's not a problem. You just need to lose weight and exercise, the gut fat certainly does not help the flared ribcage
