Yes, corseting will deform the rib cage over time. In china foot binding from infancy was used to make the feet appear smaller. In Africa stacked necklaces are used to elongate the neck. Some native americans used a pressing board to elongate the forehead of children. People have been using this form of body modification since the neolithic period.

yes, different cultures have even done this on purpose because of cultural ideas of beauty or tradition. Have you never heard of bound feet, flat heads, or elongated necks?
