Not OP but I got my bar taken out before my senior season of college athletics and I became twice the athlete I ever was, you feel like you can breath with a third lung

Asymmetrical more so than concave but not bad at all. My pectus was almost entirely on one side, overall totally pleased though. Took me much longer than a month to get back into things though

I had the same procedure when I was 18, bar got taken out after 3 years. Would've been in longer but the wires and screws began coming loose as I was playing a college sport with it in. Were you able to be active with the bar in?

Probably harder to notice at that age. I played 4 years of varsity high school, had the surgery, and didn't reap the benefits until my last year of college. 18-21 already carries a ton of added athleticism for boys so that might have contributed. I just didn't notice until the bar was out

I had a nuss procedure 2 years ago and am due to get the bar out soon, so I know where you're coming from. No questions, I asked the doctor all of those. If you need any guidance pm me.
