Are there ways to correct a barrel chest in a 22 year old?

coconess
I am female and I have a barrel chest from having severe asthma as an infant. While my asthma is completely gone, I am left with a very manly chest because the roundness flattens my breasts out. Overall, my body is slim but my ribs are disproportionately large. While I am aware I'm lucky this is all purely cosmetic and doesn't affect my physical health, I am wondering if there are options for me? Are there braces out there for this, and if so, is 22 to old to get any benefit from them?
