Plastic Surgery Q and A

Question: What is a chest wall deformity?
Answer: A chest wall deformity is the most common congenital deformity of the anterior wall of the chest, in which several ribs and the sternum grow abnormally. This produces a caved-in or sunken appearance of the chest. It can either be present at birth or not develop until puberty.
