hey /fit/, i had a pectus excavatum surgery about a year and some months ago (not pectus carniatum, I had pigeon chest which was an outward excursion of the chest cavity, and they just cut it off)now, the doctor had to remove a good portion of my pectoral, and when i flex there is a triangle that you can visibly see missingthe blacked out areas are where the muscle was cut, minus the black island higher up on the pec past the nipple line, i just got bored lolthe question: how long will it take for that muscle to grow back? im just looking for an estimate, within 2-3 year? 3-4? 5-6?i run a pretty rough chest routine just to get whatever is there back into shape, and it seems to be filling in a little. will the muscle grow back faster as i lift?
I dont think it well, sorry dude. But im not a doctor so im not 100%
personally, depending on your diet plan, i think it would grow back.obviously, the pec is a muscle, so, eating protein would help regenerate it?
You should have asked your doctor these questions.
>>326846No. Muscles don't grow back, they get bigger. That's what hypertrophy is.
Yeah they actually won't ever grow back completely. Just make up a cool story about how its an injury from a car accident or wrestling a bear.
