Patient K. (30 y.o.)
When I was in school, especially in high school, I was embarrassed to undress in front of other kids because of the «irregular shape» of my chest. Back in my university years, I noticed that the «hollowness» of the chest increased and my exercise tolerance went down. I had a sense of inferiority. When I looked in the mirror after the surgery, I felt completely different. Now my chest has a normal shape, I go in for sports more, and it's all thanks to German Nikolayev!

Patient K. (21 y.o.)
I have always been insecure about my sunken chest from my childhood and had a hard time taking off my shirt in front of others. I felt frustrated and sometimes depressed. When I entered the University of Theatre Arts, my problem got even worse. That's totally different now. I am very happy with the cosmetic result and I enjoy a more active lifestyle, thanks to the doctors!

Patient R. (25 y.o.)
I felt embarrassed to take off my clothes in public, for example, at the beach. At school, it was always uncomfortable to explain the cause of the chest deformity to my peers. I had a complex about my ugly chest. Now after the surgery I am totally satisfied with the cosmetic result, thanks to Dr. German Nikolaev!
