Can My Clavicles Per Made To Look More Prominent?

Q:Dr. Eppley, I came across your work and wanted to inquire about the possibility of clavicle augmentation for aesthetic purposes. Specifically, I’m interested in achieving a more defined and prominent collarbone appearance. Could you kindly advise: • Whether you offer any procedures (e.g. implants, contouring, or other techniques) to enhance clavicle prominence • What approach you would typically recommend for someone with my concerns • The associated risks, recovery process, and expected outcomes I would also appreciate knowing if you offer consultations (in-person or virtual) to assess suitability. Thank you, and I look forward to your advice.

A: Clavicle augmentation can be done by a wrap around silicone implant that encircles the bone from just lateral to the sternoclavicular out to medial to the acromio-clavicular joint. It is placed through a small incision in the supraclavicular. This is an aesthetic augmentation procedure that evolved from my experience in clavicle reduction osteotomies for shoulder narrowing.
