| Comments | My earliest recollection of P.E. was in my early teens. My Father tells me he took me to a doctor when I was around 10, and advise then was, as I grew chest hair, my hole would not be noticable!! Sine then, I never go out without a shirt on |
| Does your pectus deformity affect you psychologically? | Most definatly-I loath summer, swimming especially. Fortinatly now, we are told to cover up due to UV, sunburn etc |
| Does your pectus deformity affect you physically? | No-never noticed any thing |
| What do you think of this website? | great-I would recommend if parents have children with PE to get a plastic surgeon to get surgery done. In my mind-a little pain for an operation will save a lot of emarrassing situations layer in life!! |

| Comments | i have read many of the notes on this guestbook and i am amazed at how many other people have this condition.my sunken chest started to form at the age of about 5/6 i am now 23. I had cosmetic surgery about 3 yrs ago to correct my sunken chest,( no surgeon ever mentioned that there were things such as Nuss . my chest does look a lot better, but i still feel it looks abnormal. I would like to find out if the nuss procedure could be carried out. if anyone would like to e-mail me about this condition or the surgery i have had, plse feel free. |
| Does your pectus deformity affect you psychologically? | yes very much so, it affects me everyday. It makes me worry about evrything from taking my top off to what what clothes to wear. i cant go swimming and cant go to the gym. can be very depressing. |
| Does your pectus deformity affect you physically? | never really has. sometimes heart seems to beat quite fast, but nothing abnormal. dont think i have as much stamina when i run. |
| What do you think of this website? | i think this website is very helpful for people wanting to see if they are the only person who has this as i thought. Needs to be kept up to date. |

| Comments | I found this really useful - as my sone has pectus excavatum. He has been told that he has to live with it and there is nothing that can be done. I will show him this page and at least he has some options. Thank you |

| Comments | Quite well designed page and informative. |
| Does your pectus deformity affect you psychologically? | Yes, it does. I feel I can't develop my personality healthily. Life Quality is suffering. I especially feel insecure with women because of my P.C. But there is hope as I am trying to find out about surgery possibilities and going through such a surgery as soon as possible. |
| Does your pectus deformity affect you physically? | No. |

| Comments | I have a pectus deformity and I am 14 years of age. I have Pectus Carinatum and it isn't very severe. I have read that as I go through adolesence it will go even worse and I need options on how to correct it. I was wondering if gaining weight would hide the deformity. I am insiting on getting a weight set to put on weight to hide the chest bones. Will this work? |
| Does your pectus deformity affect you psychologically? | Well, I do get pretty upset about it and I always cover up my chest in front of people and I am always touching it and looking at my chest. |
| Does your pectus deformity affect you physically? | Yes, it's not really sever but you can see there is clearly deformity in the chest. |
| What do you think of this website? | I think it gave good advice but it would be better if it was more detailed |
