X-rays are needed, depending on the severity. The United States has made great progress in surgery. If the sternum does not compress the heart after correction, surgery can be performed. Generally, patients with chicken breast need to implant a metal strip in the chest to correct the chest, and then do the second operation after one to two years. Generally, you can leave the hospital three days after the first operation, resume normal activities within two weeks, and participate in high-intensity sports activities two months later. Moreover, in the United States, there is no need to cut the chest or even the sternum as before, just cut an incision under the ribs and implant a metal strip. The best age for surgery is before puberty, but surgery can be performed at any age; In fact, there are patients with chicken breasts over 65 years old who undergo surgery. According to statistics, the patients of all ages are mainly between 20 and 45 years old, and the vast majority of patients are satisfied with the surgical effect. In the United States, the cost of this kind of surgery is generally between $25,000 and $75,000.

Although the incidence of chicken breast is not high, about 300 to 400 people will have a chicken breast, and the incidence of men is slightly higher than that of women. However, in the past few decades, some hospitals in the United States have operated on nearly a thousand patients and accumulated a lot of successful experience in this regard. Moreover, the current minimally invasive treatment has the characteristics of small incision injury, rapid recovery and no sequelae. In addition, chicken breasts not only have an impact on the physical appearance, but also because the chest is too large, the inhaled air can not be completely exhaled, so many patients with chicken breasts lack exercise endurance and are prone to fatigue during high-intensity exercise. The endurance of exercise can be improved to some extent after operation. Some patients' symptoms will get worse with age; Some elderly patients with chicken breasts will also have symptoms such as arrhythmia, and their heart function will return to normal after surgery. For patients with mild breast diseases, surgery is also worth considering. In the United States, all citizens can enjoy medical insurance, but some chicken breast correction operations with mild symptoms are not in medical insurance coverage, because some insurance companies regard such operations as cosmetic surgery, but with people becoming more and more aware of the impact of chicken breasts on their health, more and more insurance companies (the United States) have included them in medical insurance coverage.

As for whether to have surgery, we can consider it according to the severity of our illness, personal (family) economic situation, personal acceptance of chicken breast symptoms, personal willingness to have surgery, and the impact of chicken breast on health. Personally, I suggest that patients with chicken breasts contact a doctor at the early stage of development or before. At this time, the operation effect is the most ideal, which is very helpful to cultivate self-confidence and integrate into the group.

If you want to have surgery, it is recommended to consult authoritative experts to fully understand the risks and disadvantages of surgery; At the same time, it is best to go to a big hospital with many successful experiences in chicken breast surgery, and of course it is better to go to the United States. (Surgery is generally not recommended for patients with mild symptoms in China)

For various reasons, most patients with chicken breast in China can't receive surgical treatment, so chicken breast orthosis can be used to improve chest deformity. Because there are a lot of false advertisements on the Internet, it is suggested that patients consult authoritative experts about what kind of medical devices they should use (there are companies in the United States that produce this kind of device to improve chest deformity, but they need to wear it for more than 16 hours every day, as if it is not easy to see it under clothes, which is more suitable for school students). Don't trust online advertisements easily.

In addition, although exercise can't change the sternum deformity, full muscles can cover up the chest deformity to some extent.

In short, patients with chicken breasts should consult authoritative experts and have the opportunity to go to the United States for treatment. The above information is only to improve your understanding of chicken breast surgery, and I am not responsible. For details, please consult a medical institution, and you need to judge for yourself whether the operation is performed.

Finally, I hope everyone knows that chicken breasts are just a small defect in the body. You don't have to undergo surgery, and you don't have to care too much, as long as you are healthy. I hope everyone can have a good time.

PS。 Through search, I found that there is little knowledge about chicken breast and chicken breast surgery on Chinese web pages, and the credibility is not high. Most web pages are copied from each other, so it is difficult to find original web pages. If you really want to know the common sense about chicken breast and various corrective methods (surgery, equipment, exercise), you should go to a regular medical institution to consult an authoritative doctor, or go to a foreign website to search for relevant information, and pay attention to verifying the source of information. If you search Chinese web pages to learn about chicken breast, it is basically a waste of time, and the probability that you can get effective information about chicken breast is extremely low. Of course, if you are just looking for psychological comfort or psychological balance, it is also good to visit various forums in China, which will make you understand that this problem is not your own, but it will not help you solve it at all. I hope you don't indulge in the troubles caused by chicken breast. If you are not going to have surgery, you should accept your present situation as soon as possible, stop worrying about chicken breasts and focus on things that can improve you. As long as we make good use of time, I believe everyone will have a happy life. In addition, according to my speculation, due to nutritional status and genetic reasons, the incidence of chicken breast meat in China should be higher than that in the United States, but there are no authoritative institutions or authoritative doctors in related fields in China to release some useful suggestions or related information (there may be, but I didn't see it) for domestic patients' reference; It can be seen that there is still a certain gap between China and the United States in medicine (at least in popularizing medical knowledge to the public). I registered the email address of 163 for those who want to know more about it. I also hope that people who have had surgery can upload useful information, write some questions related to surgery and answer your confusion.
