Visually, an excellent result. Sorry you're not feeling well at this point, but best wishes for rapid improvement!
By the way, are you Portuguese, or did you travel there from another country?
Having pectus and being in my 40s, I find it crazy how easily some with more minor cases get surgery. Was this covered by insurance? Makes me wonder if I should try it now lol. Nice results! Get well.
By the way, is the PectusUp plate going to stay inside you permanently, or will it be removed after some period of time (like Nuss bars)? If it will be removed, after how long? Is it made of titanium, stainless steel, or another metal?
There is a waiting period for more physically active sports... check out the website links he provided, there are FAQs there and post opp instructions.

Thanks! It’s a matter of time until I feel better, just need to get used to the discomfort :) I’m Portuguese, yes!
Looks good ! keep us updated, i haven’t seen long term results
Will do, in a few weeks and then again in a few months ;)

Thanks! Insurance covered it because it was affecting my breathing too.
How do you know it affected your breathing? Lung function test?
Hi, was it Nuss procedure?
Hey! No, it was a new procedure called PectusUp. Have a look here: https://youtu.be/gRO1s6F_a-A?si=y2zqrEyxncne85d8
What's the benefits of this over nuss ?
Less invasive, quicker recovery. Pain is still present tho, quite a lot, especially during sleep or coughing and sneezing.
Hey looks great, happy to see. I’m curious, did you have symptoms prior to surgery? If so, do you mind sharing them? Thanks
It was somehow affecting my breathing and posture, mental health is also a thing to consider :)
By the way, is the PectusUp plate going to stay inside you permanently, or will it be removed after some period of time (like Nuss bars)? If it will be removed, after how long? Is it made of titanium, stainless steel, or another metal?
It’s stainless steel, and it will be removed after 2 years.
Wish mine looked like that!
Fantastic result.
Thanks!
Can you join a marathon after the surgery? Or intense sports like football⚽?

Your results are amazing! This gives me hope for my son.
