What is it? :
What is Pectus Excavatum? :
Will it hurt me?
Why do I have it?
Do I have rib flare?
Does Pectus Give Me Ribflare?
What is a sternum?
What is Pectus Excavatum? :
- Pectus excavatum is a condition in which a person's breastbone (sternum) is sunken into his or her chest. The indent may be very large or very small
Will it hurt me?
- In severe cases it can interfere with the function of the heart and lungs.
Why do I have it?
- Rapid growth in your sternum is what most doctors say. I dont think its genetic from the research ive put in but sometimes it runs in families.
Do I have rib flare?
- Bro, do your ribs flare out? If so, yes you have rib flare
Does Pectus Give Me Ribflare?
- Yes most of the time it does
What is a sternum?
- Its this part of your chest, the part thats sunken in.
Solutions :
Most to least effective, but if you have you you should use all of them. You also may never fix pectus, but many will. If you have just rib flare make sure you check out the core exercise part and watch the youtube short on the guys progression / problem.

Surgery :
Cost : $19,500 to $60,000 (Depends on if insurance covers it and where you get it)
The Nuss Bar procedure is a minimally invasive procedure that uses small incisions placed on each side of the chest with a titanium or stainless steel bar placed inside of your chest.
The surgery is going to hurt alot after getting it. After 12 weeks you can take part in all activities apart from violent contact sports such as American football, rugby, ice hockey and martial arts.
Stays in your body for about three - five years
After taking it out you can do physical activity alot faster.

Cons :
- Leaves Small Scars
- Sometimes your sternum sinks back down over time and the surgery is useless, this is why you should use the vacuum bell aswell after getting the surgery.
Body Building :
Cost : $10 to $30 monthly + (extras like protein power or creatine)
Lifting is one of the best looks maxes you can do in general, but specifically with pectus its the best softmax you can do. You want a proportionate lean body.
The key factor to pectus “going away” is to have lean muscle mass, YOU CANNOT BY SKINNY.
Im not gonna go into detail about lifting just look it up on youtube, My split is push pull legs. PectusPT has some specific exercises for pectus.

Cons :
- Takes a long time
- Does not uplift your sternum, just makes it less apparent
- You'll probably get permanent body dysmorphia from lifting
Vacuum Bell:
Cost : $480 to $2000 (Only expensive if its custom)
The vacuum bell has its ups and downs, aside from gym maxing it is the best softmax to fix your pectus. There are some very important things you need to know.
#1 : You should NOT pump it up all the way to the max, I did this multiple times and most of the time I got blisters from my skin rubbing on the top. THIS LEFT PERMANENT SCARS ON MY CHEST, bringing attention to my pectus even more. Lucky they have faded now but dont pump it up all the way
#2 : You can sleep with it on
#3 : It may give you discoloration, and with extended use it might be permanent or take awhile to go away (unfortunately) although it depends on the person
#4 : You need to use it for years but if your pectus is very bad even pulling your sternum up once could permanently make it higher up / less noticeable.
#5 : You will probably never permanently fix it but it still works
#6 : The swelling does go away after a couple times
#7 : To fully reap all the benefits you should do things that make your sternum fluctuate like breath in and out, hold your breath, suck your sternum in, do a stomach vacuum, change your poster to slumped, ect.

Waist Trainer:
Cost : $10 to $100
Unfortunately I haven't done this myself, although im sure it works I don't know the side effects to it. This is all in theory and I will do it in the future, I also believe its safe if you have pectus
It has been shown that over time usage of a waist trainer can mess with your organs as well as ribcage
Oftentimes the ends of your ribcage are tilted outward when you have pectus. I could see this being a good big fix to ribflare.
I would never tell others to do this if I didnt think it was safe to do in moderation. I personally am going to put a waist trainer over my rib cage overnight when i'm sleeping in the future.
I have no recommendations to which waist trainer to use but make sure its not too tight

Stomach Vacuums / Sternum Control :
Cost : Free
This one I personally like alot, you should learn to control your sternum. If you have zero control focus on controlling you breathing in and out. Also practice stomach vacuums to control your stomach. Even though your sternum and stomach are not very related control your abdominal muscles helps with ribflare and pectus. Currently I can control my sternum completely. I can pull it in and push it out. Same with my ribs, good for pictures, fast moments with your shirt off, and flexing in the mirror. I dont have any tutorials for this though. Lookup on youtube “how to stomach vacuum if your interested”

Tip :
I heard some dudes sleep on their stomach to fix rip flare, this is complete cope and also the most unhealthy way to sleep, also will make your face more asymmetrical. Don't do this

Studies :

But if your really interested just look up vacuum bell studies and what not up online, the evidence backs up my claims

Conclusion :
If you have pectus, you can softmax your way into most people not realizing. Although without long term use of a vacuum bell or surgery it will never go away pectus is more of a mental thing that a health problem. For anyone reading this with pectus I would just like to say. Just lift, buy a vacuum bell and do some soft stuff unless your pectus is really bad. After a couple years of lifting, if you still hate it, you're not mentally ok, work on your mental health, get your money, status, and social circle up. Tristan tate has pectus, you think the girls care? Nah. Goodluck brother
