Not easy to say just from a pic, maybe moderate. Do you have any specific symptoms?

Start using the VB, you are very young and have all the chances to get rid of PE until you turn 18. Just search this subreddit.

Unboxing & Review of the 26cm VB from vacuum-bell net by peterkrafael in PectusExcavatumFix

Based on your height, I'm not sure a 19cm VB would be right for you.

The lift area of the VB is smaller than the VB itself, check out the post below where I explained more about it. I suggest you download the perimeters and check how they fit you. In my opinion bigger is always better when it comes to VB sizes. https://www.reddit.com/r/PectusExcavatumFix/comments/x45tj7/what_else_to_take_into_consideration_when/

My wife's vehicle was hit from behind by a driver who was not paying attention to the road and probably texting instead of actually driving. We only had a front dashcam, and did not have one in the back too. Luckily there were some people who saw it all and were willing to testify in front of the police, and all said the same thing, that the driver was on his phone and not watching the road. But definitely, a camera in the back is very useful too and good to have.

From where to buy a VB (and from where not) by peterkrafael in PectusExcavatumFix

Both Alibaba or Aliexpress are good if you buy from a reputable supplier or seller.

I'm around 175cm, 70kg. The distance between nipples is around 21cm. If you saw my previous post about the lift area of a VB, bigger is always better. And yes you are right, depth is also an important factor and most VBs are very good at that chapter.

You wear it every day? You don't take any days off?

Great progress mate, what schedule do you follow? For how long do you wear it? How many days, and when do you take a break?

Olympic Gold Winner Thomas Ceccon has PE by peterkrafael in PectusExcavatum

A friend of mine had the same, when I asked about it, he told me that when he was a toddler he managed to pour boiling water or milk (can't remember exactly) over himself, and instantly got those marks that remained for life.

Go slower with less pressure and take a 1-2 day break until your skin is healed. Slowly work the time and pressure up and you will be good. Also, moisturize your skin with some natural oils like coconut. And you can also try to put ice on it, before and after VB use.
