Of course, the main reason many of us decide to undergo surgery is to alleviate the symptoms caused by our pectus excavatum. However, it is always fun to celebrate everyone’s amazing results with before and after photos. Below are my before and after results (the after photos were taken 2 days post-op at the hospital). We would love for you to share your own before and after photos of yourself or your son/daughter. You can find the photo release form under the drop-down arrow. You can email your photos and release form back to us at: contact@pectuscommunity.com. Please be sure to add the following information when you email your photos and release form: Name with last initial, surgery date, age, surgeon’s name and hospital, Haller Index, how many bars and if cryoablation was used.
