A member asked:
Can my breast start to grow and get bigger after pectus excavatum surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to know: The change in bone structure will alter the basic chest contour. That said, breast size is a separate issue that depends on the interaction of hormones with the receptors within the breast tissue. This operation is often delayed until after your growth has finished. Whether or not you may have some breast growth left is hard to predict at age 17.
