I am reposting this question b/c I didn't specify in my last post that the photo(s) are of me and they are not wish pictures. I'm insecure about my pectus , and do not want to get breast implants. I wanted to do fat transfer to the dip/breasts but have heard it's unsuccessful for pectus, I also am very thin so idk where the fat would be taken from. I hate how deep and large the dent looks under my breasts and it makes my ribs stick out. :(

Answer: Fat Just based on your photos, I doubt you have much if any donor fat. However, fat transfer could help minimize the bony defect, but probably not remove it entirely unless a lot of fat were placed or you gained a lot of weight.

Answer: Pectus excavatum Pectus Excavatum can be camouflaged to a certain degree with fat grafting or implants. In your case, you do not appear to have enough fat to make a significant difference. Implants can help, however it will not address the flaring of your ribs which is due to the pectus and can only be corrected with the Nuss or similar procedures. You can use larger implants in an effort to make the flare less noticeable. There is also a likelihood that your breasts will appear closer to each other and the nipples may point more inwards due to the pectus and implants will not directly resolve these issues. Hope this helps!

Answer: Fat transfer for pectus excavatum fat transfer will not be successful for treatment of pectus excavatum. The primary reason for this is the area is completely devoid of proper host tissue to support the graft. This leads to a very high percentage of graft failure.generally in order for fat transfer to be successful someone should not graft more than 100% of the present host tissue.in other words if someone has 1/2 inch of soft tissue between their sternum and their skin you can add 1/2 inch of fat graft. in your case came out of soft tissue between your skin and your sternum is probably only a few millimeters.the only way to build up significant volume with fat transfer is to do this multiple times grafting small amounts of fat each time.
