I have moderate (i think) PE and my flaring looks like your post-op flaring. I am trying to fix the flaring as the hole doesn’t bother me as much but I am doing it naturally, as I’m very into bodybuilding and I think I can fix it that way. I’ll let you know how it goes, with before and after pictures and stuff, sometime.

is it me or your ribs are still flaring out that’s something that most of the times accompanies pectus i was able to make em retract to normal position with the help of pullovers (thank you arnold) and using a belt which i wore tight around my ribs for about 2 weeks or so u should try that when you feel better you’re gonna love it

How do you do a pullover? Also, what do you mean by a belt? I have heard of a brace to push the ribs back but thats about it.

a pullover is a corrective and a bodybuilding exercise surely you’ll find an instructional video on the matter if you look it up. By belt i meant an ordinary non-notched belt made out of textile fibers (not the leather ones) you can wrap around you over the most protruding part of your ribs and it will act like a women’s corset. you don’t have to wear it forever just a little while and you’ll probably feel a bit of pain in your ribs as they are subsiding beneath the muscle.good luck
