Can I Make My Clavicles Bigger To Show More?
Q: Dr. Eppley, I am not overweight/ but no matter how much weight i lose, i can’t seem to gain a prominent collarbone. I’m looking to change that and am open to suggestions.
A: Having done hundreds of aesthetic clavicle reshaping surgeries I have obsreved there is great variability in the thickness of the soft tissues overlying the bone. Those with prominent clavicle show have a thinner soft tissue cover while those with no clavicle show are buried under a thicker soft tissue cover.. Clavicle show or prominence has very little to do wirth the size of the bone.
That being said I would have little confidence in liposuction to reduce the soft tissue thickness to make the bone appear more prominent. I would have more confidence that enlarging the bone by a sleeve implant would be more effective in that regard.
