Can a pectus deformity be corrected?

Dr. Faisal Qureshi answered

Yes: Both pectus carinatum (pigeon chest) an pectus excavatum (funnel chest) can be corrected. Historically both were corrected by surgery but recently carinatum is treated where appropriate with a brace.

excavatum requires surgery which can be minimally invasive. carinatum can be corrected by wearing an external brace.
