Am I A Good Candidate For Deltoid Implants or Clavicle Lengthening For Broad Shoulders?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I would like to know if I would be a candidate fordeltoid implants and or shoulder lengthening/clavicle lengthening. (pictures attached)

A:I would definitely opt for deltoid implants as your shoulders are already broad based on your pictures. It is just that the ‘corners’ of the shoulders are rounded and lack a more defined shape. (the deltoid muscle is underdeveloped) Clavicle lengthening may make them broader but won’t give the upper deltoids a more prominent shape.
