Can The Deltoid Muscles Be Reduced?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I’m trans MTF I saw your article about reduce the shoulders I have width prominences deltoid also is the possible to reduce ? How much? Thanks

A: If you are asking if the deltoid muscles can be reduced along with clavicle reduction osteotomies…that is a procedure that has never been done as there has never been a need/request. But the scarring from doing so would not seem, to be a good tradeoff.
