According to this reference:

" The Ravitich, Leonard, or Nuss [surgical] procedures are corrective. The Silicone implants Procedure is simply cosmetic, and will not address... heart or breathing difficulties. Have him or his parents [r]esearch them to see what would be best for [his] situation... [He should s]ee a thoracic surgeon with extensive experience in this condition, not a plastic surgeon."
