Does Shoulder Reduction Surgery Decrease The Width Of The Shoulders or Just The Length of The Collarbone?

Q: Dr. Eppley, By doing shoulder reduction surgery does it decrease the distance of the shoulder or only the collarbone resulting in a slim appearance? Is there’s any surgery that decrease the distance of the shoulder let say 18 cm to 14cm? Thank

A: Clavicle reduction osteotomies reduces the visible width of the external shoulders.
