A member asked:
Okay to go to work right away after pectus excavatum correctional surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You will have some recovery time. Likely 2-4 weeks atleast before you are going back. That will also depend on the severity of the pectus, and the surgical technique you use to correct the deformity.
