Only by getting an exam and taking tests can a professional determand if YOUR condition is cosmetic or necessary. Cost can vary also by medical centers and agreed coverage between centers and insurance companies. I can only speak for one situation. My insurance company will billed about $27,000.00 Hope this helps. Mayber others on YouTube can comment.

You can absolutely have it done. I am 26 and Im having it done in 2 days. Dr. Nuss did one on a 48 year old man. Don't listen to these ppl. The only difference with me is that they are using 2 bars instead of one.

My twin brother had his Pectus excavatum repair operation yesterday! And he's doing just fine! He's out of hospital on Saturday hopefully :)

Dr. Nuss performed ... ( 2 months ago by bbanner00)

Dr. Nuss performed on me in 2004. If it is a moderate to severe case insurance will pay for it. $60,000-$70,000 without insurance. If your cardiologist can find any pressure on your heart(mainly the lower right ventrical) it is an immediate health risk. Therefore, insurance will cover it. Hope this helped.

This is how it ... ( 2 months ago by bbanner00)

This is how it works. before the age of 23 your bone is still growing and is very soft. Surgery before this age is the ideal situation. because the bone is still growing. Once you become an adult then the bone starts to harden making it harder to move the rib cage. Each person is different and nobody will no until you actually see D. Nuss.

I was sleeping upright in a chair for 3 months, however when pain came I was on "cloud 9"...good stuff man.

Mine was about ... ( 2 months ago by firebyrd516)

Mine was about $60,000 but with insurance it was a mere $1,600 and they will work with you on a payment plan if you need it. Also going back to the "flexibility" issue. On older patients doing a lot of cardio (if you can) will help. Dr. Kuhn said I was a lot more flexible than she expected and she attributed that to my exercise habits.

"An Immediate Health risk" if pressure on the heart? Are you serious!!! My heart is compressed and displaced and my chest doctor thought that I'm just fine. What do you mean by immediate health risk? Am I in danger? I've have everything from palpitations. When I lay down sometimes I get a real HARD thump with my heartbeat that hurts.

I am 25 years old. ... ( 2 weeks ago by gatorheels23)

I am 25 years old. My pectus excavatum seems to be a severe case. As I get older the condition is getting worse. I have occasional chest pain. When I play basketball I notice that I just can't breath like normal people. My chest is sunk in what seems to be at least 2 to 3 inches. My posture is starting to bother me. My lower ribs stick out very far making it look like I have a gut. Any advice on what type of procedure would be best for me?
