Hey man, I'm 16 and had my back fused when I was 12. I'm really glad I got it done but I still have a pretty gross rib hump, which I'm really self conscious about. I was thinking of having plastic surgery to remove it (thoracoplasty?) Do you still have a hump? And if so, are you self conscious/ or does it not matter much when you get older?

Perfect posture bros :D

Hey Kathleen, I saw that I another comment you said you have a thoracoplasty to correct deformed ribs. You and I have(had?) a similar type and severity of scoliosis and I was wondering if you could tell me what the results are like. I'm having a thoracoplasty with my second fusion, which is next month. I'm 16 at the moment and as you can imagine I'm very worried about the aesthetics after the procedure (typical teenage girl right). I have be struggling to find answers about this because most doctors don't seem worried with how it looks, just that it is stable and doesn't cause any pain.
