Custom Implants for Pectus Excavatum

If surgery doesn't sound right for you, there is always the cosmetic option of a custom implant.  The implants are composed of a material that feels like the eraser on the end of a pencil.  The area is molded outside of the skin with rubber.  Then the rubber mold is sent to a lab where the implant is created.  The implant is placed in the dented area to produce a pleasing cosemtic result.
