PECTUS EXCAVATUM is ROPEfuel

[Mihai33]

What is pectus excavatum?

Pectus excavatum is a structural deformity of the anterior thoracic wall in which the sternum and rib cage are shaped abnormally. This produces a caved-in or sunken appearance of the chest. It can either be present at birth or develop after puberty.​

Key Consequences and Complications:

• Cardiopulmonary Effects: The compressed chest cavity can limit the heart's ability to pump efficiently and restrict lung expansion, leading to shortness of breath, fast heart rate (tachycardia), and chest pain.
• Reduced Stamina: Many individuals with moderate-to-severe pectus excavatum experience decreased stamina and inability to exercise for long periods.
• Psychological Impact: A significant number of patients experience anxiety, depression, and social awkwardness, leading them to avoid activities like swimming or removing their shirts in public.
• Postural Issues: The deformity often causes compensation, resulting in hunched shoulders and forward-leaning posture.
• Physical Symptoms: Potential for frequent fatigue, lightheadedness, coughing, or wheezing.​

It's basicall a genetic curse, you're born with it and it only gets worse as time passes by. Idgaf about the medical problems, I am an active man (been practicing sports for 8 years now) and I've only felt some breathing problems sometimes. But it's more like a psychological warfare inside my head:

KYS buddy, you're never gonna be normal and will always stand out negatively, NEVER even try to take your shirt off (avoid pools at all cost)​

Embrace it bro, gymmaxx and eventually it will get beter, just dont ldar

You think that's it? HELL NAW, with pectus excavatum along comes the ribflare.
Basically your last ribs go out and look like two fucking tits sticking out of it

It looks like this through any shirt, it literally sticks out of you.
(Picture of me during a random interview, rib flare visible)

What can you do about it?​

Gymmmaxx and posturemaxx (SAFEST WAY)​

So as we know, pectus excavatum is a bone deformity, and any iqcell knows you cant just move bone, so if your pec muscle insertions are not fucked up you can actually grow muscle around your hole and try to fill it. But as much muscle as you have, the identation will still be there, you will look something like clav

Vacuum bell (mostly cope)
A vacuum bell is a rubber bell- or cup-shaped device that connects to a pump. You place the device on the front of the chest and use the pump to suck the air out of the device. This creates suction, or a vacuum, that pulls the chest and breastbone forward. Over time, the chest wall and breastbone stay forward on their own and hold a new shape.

I saw some reddit oldcel thread about it working, but only 1-2 cm and it goes back after some weeks of not using it. SO YOU HAVE TO SUCK YOUR CHEST with ts for the rest of your worthless life.

The nuss procedure (surgerymaxx)
The Nuss procedure is a minimally invasive surgery to fix pectus excavatum (sunken chest) by inserting one or more titanium bars under the sternum to lift it into a normal position. Typically performed on teenagers, the bar stays in for 2–3 years, significantly improving chest appearance, breathing, and heart function.

This seems like a good option, but it's expensive af unless you get insurance which is hard. And also the recovery is hell, it hurts more than death.

MY CASE​

My case is not as severe as surgery is not needed, but aestheticaly it's a ropefuel , even if I have a shirt on, the side profile is fucked (see in photo). As I said, I never take the shirt off, I am extremely insecure when i have to get undressed eg. locker rooms, parties, pool, beach,etc.

And for all my pectus guys, I am gonna document my transformation after 5 months. I currently only train BJJ 4 times/ week, but during the summer i will quit bjj and start going to the gym and imma be a chestcel.

This was my very first greycel high-effort thread so I myself have a lot to learn.​

i have a very similar pectus to yours in terms of severity and it has had quite the impact on physical performance for me especially because i do endurance sports, and obviously a psychological impact as well but it's obvious enough that it's not very aesthetically pleasing.
ive done some research on treatment options and there's an upcoming technique called pectus up that is way less invasive because of its extrathoracic nature as opposed to the intrathoracic approach of nuss/ravitch techniques. basically it's a plate attached to both ribs around the pectus and a device on ur sternum that is screwed and pulled up to match the height of the plate hence pulling ur sunken chest outwards. idk if i made myself clear but the pic should be pretty self explanatory.

also the recovery should be way less painful and way faster so that's a big positive.
it's still only available in a handful of countries but there's hope for us pectuscels that it becomes more widespread and accessible around the world as more people start caring about the way their body looks.
gl in the gym bro hope ur insertions can mask the crater

The thought of changing rooms is pure ropefuel for me bro my pectus excavatum is genuinely so bad + im built like a stick figure. I dread changing rooms so bad

I have the same problem with changing rooms but I somehow cope with it, I mainly go in the corner and face away from everybody else. If someone is still looking at me and can see my hole, i just wait, drink water, scroll tiktok, pretend to search something in my bag until he doesnt look anymore and I can get undressed. Is your pectus worse than mine?

I huddle away into a corner as well. What ive been doing more often is just not changing my t shirt at all. Even though it works, i still get jealous at all the others who freely take their shirts off without being scared. Not to mention i have a huge burn scar on my shoulder

Is your pectus worse than mine bro? Not changing your shirt at all might be crazy in some scenarios.

your pectus aint even that bad , face and height matters much more , i have the same amount as you and it doesnt affect me at all

at least you should be supposed to get taller than if you hadn't it since your low t causes delayed fusion of the growth plates
