Thirty-plus can usually still do funnel chest surgery, but it should be decided in combination with the severity of the condition.
Funnel chest is a relatively common chest wall deformity, mainly characterized by a depressed sternum, i.e., the sternum and ribs are concave inward and backward. For people in their thirties, funnel chest surgery is generally possible. However, it should be decided in combination with the severity of the disease as follows:
1. If the organism is slight funnel chest, exercise plus suction cup treatment is recommended for correction; if the funnel chest is more serious and affects the cardiopulmonary function, it is recommended to enter the hospital in time for consultation and funnel chest surgery.
2. Funnel chest surgery is generally recommended before the age of 10 for surgical correction, and is conducive to the repair of the body. After 30 years of age, when the bones are well developed, the recovery time may be longer, and it is necessary to decide whether or not to perform surgery after comprehensive consideration.
If you encounter any of the above problems and have any questions, it is recommended to consult a professional thoracic surgeon for early detection and treatment.
