Where can i get a brace for my pectus carinatum?

Not needed: Pectus carinatum does not need treatment . It seldom causes any medical problems. Surgery is available, but not recommended as usually only a cosmetic problem. See a cardiothoracic surgeon for more information.

Prosthetics clinic: Any good prosthetics clinic/facility may be able to manufacture an appropriate brace. Consult a pediatric surgeon for help.
