Chest Asymmetry Post Scoliosis Surgery
Description
Chest asymmetry after scoliosis surgery—often described as a “sunken chest side,” “funnel chest,” or “cobbler’s chest”—happens when one side of the chest appears noticeably more hollow or uneven compared to the other. This condition, also known by keywords like pectus excavatum, chest depression, or hollowed chest, is a common challenge for patients who have undergone spinal fusion or corrective surgery for scoliosis. While the surgery straightens the spine, it can leave or worsen chest imbalance, affecting not only appearance but also confidence and quality of life. Many find that this chest wall irregularity results in visible breast asymmetry that normal development or exercise cannot correct. In South Korea, leading plastic surgeons use advanced breast augmentation and chest contouring techniques—including customized implants and fat grafting—to restore symmetry and fullness, helping patients achieve a balanced, natural look and renewed self-assurance.
