to surgical or minimally invasive procedures that reshape the external structure of the chest, including the ribs, cartilage, and surrounding soft tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The chest wall is made up of several anatomical components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ribs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sternum (breastbone)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Costal cartilage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Muscles and connective
