Pectus Excavatum is a natural deformity to the chest, causing it to be concave. It can cause a lot of health complications and in my case, it not only affected my physical endurance but my self-image as well. This led me to one of the most life-defining experiences I have had, a surgery called the Nuss Procedure. The Nuss procedure is known to be minimally invasive, but it is one of the most painful surgeries a child can go through. This procedure has often been likened to that of braces, but instead of it taking years to work, it happens in just a few seconds. Though it was a hard and painful road to recovery, I would go through it all again if I had to. This project focuses on the pain of surgery and the beauty of the human body.
