Lol it was indeed elective surgery. His heart was never at risk of being crushed; it's purely an aesthetic choice. In other words, it wasn't medically necessary but Crowder felt that the surgery would help him feel more himself i.e., would make him look more like a man...

Seriously, I have a friend with the same condition. It's elective. When he was growing up his party trick was eating cereal from the 'bowl' in his chest. He's in his mid-30's now and still has it. Not life-threatening at all, just slightly weird looking.

I don't remember seeing any chest scars in the pictures of him holding the babies when they weren't very old.
