I have mild PE and mild scoliosis. My PE is asymmetrical, and my rib cage sticks out a lot (above my breast but below my collar bone) on the right side. It is very much like a small rib hump but in the front. It sticks out a lot more than my left side and is very noticeable. Is it possible to have the bone there shaved down to look flatter/smaller? I cannot get surgery for my PE or my scoliosis nor can I get a breast augmentation. However, I want to know if there is a way to disguise the hump.
