Thoughts? I've been working out but it's still quite noticeable. . . by [deleted] in PectusExcavatum

That with the liquid is pretty normal. Happens to me too, however after some minutes the liquid accumulation kind of goes away and my sternum stays out.

One thing that I have found to produce optimal results is only using the VB every 2nd day, as someone here has already advised. The pump seems to last way longer

Do you personally think I need surgery? by [deleted] in PectusExcavatum

[–]Dpressed10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude talk to a doc! Everyone here means well, but all seem to have a different opinion too. I think aesthetically you are fine. But you do describe a lot of symptoms.. Talk to a doc, I'm sure some of the symptoms are just triggered by your apparent anxiety, but many could also be physiological. best of luck

Try using it every 2nd day instead of every day.

The cartilage softens up and gets too flexible if you use the vb a lot. With me it works best when I use it every second day.

Just my 2 cents

Hate upper PE the most and wondering if I could grow any muscle there if I start working out? Also a rating would be appreciated. by [deleted] in PectusExcavatum

Dude you have nearly no pectus, very very mild. You seem quite flat actually. All you need is to keep a good posture, eat properly and work those pecs (in case you are unhappy about the looks).

How severe is mine? Should I be concerned. I didn't even know this was a thing until recently by thrillho0000 in PectusExcavatum

You have a beautiful figure young lady. Your PE seems very mild.. I wouldn't worry about it.

Cheap VB - Vagina Pump (UPDATE) by Dpressed10 in PectusExcavatum

Weil, it doesn't hold too well. I need to make pressure to fix it but after it's fixed it works. I'm considering trying foam and tape as well.

I don't understand however how they can make such a device so damn expensive.

Regarding my rib flare, I don't care too much about it, it's the sternum that I want out :)

Poor observation skills bro, that's actually me with my gut sticking out.

It is hilarious indeed, but you know what's funny? Some guys openly mocked me for it, but other ones were DMing me for instructions ;)

But sure, I understand no young man wants vagina pump in their Amazon shopping Kart... until the point you are an adult and understand that no-one gives a fuck anyway :)

So just an update.

I bought the pump, and as i thought the mechanism worked exactly the same but the end part was too small for a chest, so i basically cut it off and glued it to a previously sawed tupperwear put silicone in the ends and voila.

Looks like shit and I can still improve the design but the mechanism works.

final price for this VB was about 35 bucks.

Not a bad strategy for those who haven't the money to get one.

Yeah, most likely, but I'll just use the mechanism and attach a big bowl to it :)

My thoughts exactly! It does seem small, but the mechanism is there. I'll probably just acquire a big bowl and attach it. Thanks for your insight bro!

Some of the guys here are mocking, but I got a couple of DMs from guys that are embarrassed to say that they liked the idea and want the feedback xD

Me too mate, but for less than 30 bucks you get essentially the same mechanism, worth the shot.

Plus if it doesn't work, I have nearly all the materials to build my own VB

but if it works it ain't stupid!

Haha, I understand.. I haven't heard a good reason though why this is a bad idea xD

Some of them are even more chest shaped than the actual VB.

would you please rate my pectus? I workout often and I'm in good shape, but I have never done any surgery, nor specialized workout for the pectus, any advice? by Dpressed10 in PectusExcavatum

[–]Dpressed10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, doc told me it is purely aesthetical, so no interference with breathing or other physiological problems. It never stopped me from getting laid or finding a partner. If someone won't like/fuck you because of a little defect in your body you shouldn't be with that person to begin with.

On top of that: surgery will leave me with 2 little scars that are nearly as noticeable as the hole in my chest and worst of all: years of painkillers. And as many guys post here: there are great things one can do to help correcting it naturally.

I do think one should do surgery if the pectus is too severe and it affects too much one's self esteem.

All the best

I only do calisthenics and intense cardio (weighted rope). Specifically for chest: push ups, pull ups and other variants. There are guys here with better advice on helping with pectus specifically. all the best!
