James Jack Stark, 14, from Hemel Hempstead, was born with pectus carinatum, a deformity known as pigeon chest (left). It caused his torso to protrude outwards, giving it a bowed-out appearance which made him hate the way he looked. He even threatened to smash his own torso with a hammer. In January, the 14-year-old had his breastbone and his ribs manipulated while he received pain-killing gas and air, and was then fitted with a special brace. After just four months of wearing the contraption, his chest has completely flattened (right). His mother, Jacquie Stark, now says he walks with a swagger and wants to join the armed forces one day.

You would not recognise him as the same child.'
