In aesthetic shoulder reduction surgery a segment of the clavicle from the inner aspect of its length is removed to achieve the narrowing effect. The first step in the process is to isolate the clavicle bone circumferentially to safely perform the bone removal and inward shoulder movement. There are numerous muscular attachments along its length Read More…
Shoulder reduction surgery works by a removing a medial segment of the non-linear clavicle bone. When putting the bone back together the outer shoulder moves inwards creating the desired effect. The good quality bone at the reapproximated clavicle ends provides a high level of assurance that the bone will heal across the osteotomy gap. The Read More…
The success of shoulder narrowing surgery is ultimately determined by complete healing of the ostectomy site. This is made possible by the application of rigid fixation using 2.7mm plates and bicortical screws. To date all patients have gone on to complete healing of their clcvciicl shortening sites. Once healed the long-term question is whether the Read More…

The concept of shoulder narrowing by removing a segment of the clavicle bone is straightforward. Since the clavicle is a horizontally oriented bone that keeps the shoulder from collapsing into the sternum, shortening its length will move the outer contour of the shoulders inward.

One of the most common questions by patients considering this surgery is how much length of clavicle bone can be removed. Which essentially Read More…
Shoulder reduction surgery works by accessing the inner third of the clavicle bone and reducing its length by a measured ostectomy. To do this requires an incision over the clavicle, which by one’s own feel, the soft tissue over the bone feels fairly thin. In reality it is much thicker than it feels. Regardless, an Read More…
