Will Shoulder Reduction Surgery Make My Collarbone Disappear?

Q: Dr. Eppley, Hello, I’m interested in clavicle shortening. However, I’m wondering if this would make my collarbone a lot less visible. I already have not really visible collarbones and I’m worried they will fully disappear. 

A:Good question and actually the reverse of your concern, becoming more visible, is more likely to occur due to the application of the superior fixation plate.
