Pigeon chest goes away with puberty?

Sometimes: Pectus deformities of the chest can change with growth but usually do not go away completely. The reverse is also true in that they can worsen during that time.

No: May flatten some, and as pectorals expand may be less obvious be evaluated pectus carinatum is the medical term.
