While not 100% proof it’s a lot more compelling then the photo he shared.

I have a mild case too. And I’m 34 now but when I was growing up my parents always treated it like it was an asset and not a defect. I would put candy in it while laying down watching tv and I really liked having it. So in school when a bulky tried to point it out I just replied “ya it’s awesome I put candy in it, it’s a built in bowl” and that was it. Don’t get me wrong I got bullied about other things but my “dip” never bothered me.

I will say that even though I’m told it’s too minor to effect me, I’ve always been prone to get short of breath quicker than others. Also, when I started to gain weight in my 20s it hurt my self image because the dip really makes the man boobs look a lot bigger.

I know that pectus excavatum has a hereditary component. My Dad, sister and me all have it. We are all minor cases but I do feel like I get short of breath easier than most and I attribute that to my dip.

Does anyone else on your family have it? Do you have children? My 2 daughters look like they MIGHT have a mild case but they are too young to be sure.
