Pigeon breast plastic surgery correction method

Pectus carinatum refers to a deformity in which the sternum bulges forward. This problem can also trigger thoracoscopic disease, so corrective treatment is also important. You can refer to the following methods to help correct pectus carinatum.

Chicken breast (pectus carinatum) is also called pigeon breast. The sternum bulges forward deformedly, resembling the breast of a chicken or pigeon, so it is called pigeon chest. It is the second most common chest deformity of the anterior chest wall, less common than funnel chest. The incidence rate is about one in a thousand, with a male to female ratio of about 4:1. It accounts for 16.7% of all chest wall deformities. Symptoms appear relatively late, with more than 50% discovered after the age of 11. The cause of the disease is not yet clear, but it may be related to genetics. About 20% to 25% of people have a family history. It is generally believed that it is caused by excessive growth of ribs and costal cartilages. The deformity of the sternum is secondary to the rib deformity, and may also be secondary to intrathoracic diseases.

How to correct chicken breast yourself

1. Push your hands against each other. Bend your elbows and place your palms together in the middle of your chest. Then inhale, push against each other with force and maintain the position for a while (5 to 8 seconds), then exhale and relax. Repeat 10 to 15 times, and practice 3 sets in total.

2. Push your knees with both hands. Sit with your arms crossed in front of your body, pressing on the knee of the opposite leg. Then inhale, push your knees outward with your hands, and draw your thighs inward to keep your knees still. Continue this resistance for a while (5 to 8 seconds). Then exhale and relax. Repeat 10 to 15 times, and practice 3 sets in total.

3. Lift heavy objects with both hands. Hold a heavy object (such as a book, barbell plate, brick, etc.) with your palms in front of your chest, then pause for 5 to 8 seconds before putting the object down. Inhale as you lift with force, and exhale as you return to the original position and relax. Repeat 10 to 15 times, and practice 3 sets in total.

4. Put your hands on your hips and hold your chest in. Use both hands to press your lower back hard, and at the same time, hunch your chest and tighten your chest muscles. Pause for 5 to 8 seconds, then exhale and stretch your shoulders, relaxing your arms and chest muscles. Repeat 10 to 15 times, and practice 4 sets in total.

5. Squeeze with both hands. When squeezing, objects of different widths should be used so that the chest muscles can be fully trained. When squeezing, your hands should be moved horizontally toward each other, as if you want to squeeze the object (such as a table, holding two opposite sides of the table with your hands) to narrow and flatten it. The squeezing action should last for 5 to 8 seconds. Inhale when exerting force, and exhale when returning to the original state and relaxing. Repeat 10 to 15 times, and practice 4 sets in total.

6. Wide-grip push-ups. Stretch your arms straight on the ground, with your palms wider than shoulder distance apart, so that your shoulder blades are slightly tilted forward, your head slightly raised, and your eyes looking forward. Then exhale, bend your elbows, keep your torso straight, and slowly descend to the lowest position. Pause for 2 to 3 seconds. Then inhale, stretch your arms and chest out, returning to a straight posture. Repeat 10 to 15 times, and practice 4 sets in total.
