Disorders of the Chest Muscles and Breast Development

The congenital absence of one or more chest muscles (pectoral muscle) is the congenital anomaly. Disorders in the serratus muscle development can also be seen along with the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor muscles between located between the ribs. It is seen in 1 out of every 7,000-100,000 people. It is seen 2-3 times more in men. If there is absence of ribs, operations toward breast wholeness might be needed. Esthetic operations are performed to correct the breasts shape disorders. Reparation during operation can be done with the back muscle to be transferred to the front side, use of special pins, or breast prosthesis (in women).
