Funnel chest is a congenital malformation, which is more common in childhood. Many families think that exercise can correct pectus excavatum. In fact, patients with mild pectus excavatum can cover up the deformity of pectus excavatum by exercising chest muscles and improve their self-confidence. But exercise mainly changes the shape and volume of muscles, and it is difficult to change the shape of bones. Therefore, funnel chest can't be restored to normal through exercise, but exercise can make the muscles of the front chest more developed, and the appearance of funnel chest looks smaller. In fact, there is no way to correct the skeletal structure of the chest through exercise.
The main method of surgical treatment of funnel chest is surgical correction. Generally speaking, this kind of operation works best when you are about ten years old. The operation method is minimally invasive through thoracoscope, such as nano-operating room. This operation is the main surgical method to treat funnel chest at present, and the effect is very obvious. The trauma is relatively small. The disadvantage is that the cost is more expensive. It requires a second operation to take out the steel plate, which increases the pain of the patient.
