Sorry about the pun. Here's my story, I have had pectus excavatum (not sure but about medium severity) since I was about 11 or 12. I was offered an operation when I saw a GP at about age 13. At that age I didn't want to have the operation as I had only just recovered from a brain tumour. Years later when I was 22 I asked a GP about it and he said that nothing could be done. Now I am 31 years old, I work abroad (Japan) and I'd still like to have the operation done. I'm a UK citizen so I could return to the UK, go to the NHS and wait.... But that means putting my life and career on hold for ....years? So I'm looking into the prospect of having my Pectus corrected privately. Does anyone have any idea of the cost? Or where I could have it done?
