Rib flare is a condition where the ribs protrude farther out than the chest. The abnormality of the associated ribcage can be one of the most common aspects of a Pectus deformity. Rib flaring can even appear to be the most significant defect associated with a relatively minor Pectus Excavatum or Pectus Carinatum condition. It typically affects the lower ribs and the lower edge of the ribcage.If you are very skinny, the appearance of your flared ribs can be more noticeable. Good posture, stretching, bracing, & ab exercises (with a focus on the obliques) have been known to help.
PECTUS EXCAVATUM
The Nuss procedure may not always correct rib flaring. It is possible that the NUSS surgery could make the flare MORE pronounced due to the hardening of cartilage (depending on age at time of surgery – more likely the older the patient). With a corrective surgery, though, sometimes surgeons are able to shave down the excess bone while performing the procedure.
PECTUS CARINATUM
Many doctors recommend BRACING to correct the rib flare.
