strange ribcage?

I have done a lot of research but couldn't find anything about it. There's something strange on my body, the (lower) right side of ribcage does not have the normal shape my left side has. It's like there's a missing rib, or an abnormal rib that changes the structure of my ribcage somehow. It's more obvious when I take a deep breath. If it doesn't make much sense perhaps I can try upload a picture.
I have asked some doctors, noone had any idea, except this one pediatrician who said it's because of my scoliosis, which makes sense, but still, shouldn't be this much. My parents say that it's normal and I had it since I was born..
If anyone can shed some light I would appreciate it.
