Going to be real here. I am having surgery in October 2025 to get breast implants. I have severe pectus excavatum and my girls have never looked right. I’m way too old to even try to fix it now. My understanding is that after 17 years old, you’re too old to correct this issue. I am lucky that it’s only cosmetic and does not affect my breathing, my heart, or anything else. However, it has always made me self-conscious and for a long time, I hated myself. I had gained a lot of weight. After my youngest child, I was so unhappy with myself that I didn’t really care, but when I decided to do something about that, it changed my life. I have lost 125 pounds and I feel great! I would like to also feel great mentally by fixing the part of myself I hate the most. Even though this is to correct/hide a birth defect effect, insurance will not cover it. I’m attempting to seek donations. Even if I don’t get to the full amount, I’m grateful.
