I've recently read in Dave Wolpert's book and on a few websites that for people with Asthma or other lung conditions, a thoracoplasty is risky due to their already decreased ability to breathe.
Has anyone here had a thoracoplasty with Asthma or other lung condition? My Ortho had mentioned this past summer when we first met that he would most likely be performing a thoracoplasty due to a rigid upper curve and rib hump, so I'm facing this very situation. I will be bringing this issue up to my Ortho when we meet next week but wanted to see if there was anyone out there who experienced this and if so, how did your body respond?
Thanks!
