Pectus Excavatum is a congenital abnormality with the development of the rib cage. As a result, the chest bone (sternum) and the ribs in front of the chest are dented in. The chest muscles (pectoral muscles) may also have abnormal attachment under the breasts. This deep dent in lower chest between the 2 breasts results in a deep cleavage area. This deformity is more obvious with slim ladies with smaller breasts.

In mild to moderate degree of pectus, patient might not be aware of this condition and usually complaints of the smaller breasts associated with the abnormality. Performing breast implant surgery on these cases needs special attention from the surgeon to choose the right shape/size of implants, place the implant in the right pocket (above or below muscles) and address abnormal attachment of the muscles.
In moderate to severe degree of pectus, a 3-D CT scan is performed first to assess the severity of deformity. A custom-made pre-sternal implant might be needed to correct the dent of the bone followed by insertion of the 2 breast implants. The 3 implants can be inserted at the same surgery (single stage procedure) or the 2 breast implants can be inserted few weeks after (2-stage procedure).
