Hi, this is for a female, she has some parts of her upper rib cage sticking out is this normal for a girl she's 18years old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rib cage shape: The shape of the ribcage can varies from one degree or another in different people. If the appearance of her cage has always been as it is now, this is likely normal for her. Abrupt changes in the shape of the ribcage, especially when associated with pain or difficulty breathing warrants immediate medical attention.
