i had same problem as you. i was operated when i was about 13/14 years old. I remember that it was hard to discover what i had but then a thoraxic specialist told me what i had and operated me after some weeks / months. He basicly said that in the first years its a "cosmetic" problem, but in the next years it can be ver bad to respiratory system. He strongly advised me to do the operation. Btw the problem is on the cartilage, not the bone - externum (dont know how to say in english)

i was operated like 4 or 5 years ago too (im 19 atm), to pectus carinatum, which is the same thing but my chest grows to the "outside" instead to the inside like you (cant explain properly lol). But i got a pretty huge scar, almost 12 cm in the middle of the chest, similar to hearth scars, i kind felt drepressed about the size of it, even after these years its still hard to take my shirt off. How hard was it to discover what you had? (i remember that i had to go to lots of different doctors and did some x-rays, and only when i got to a thoracic expert he immediatly told me what i had. soz for english
