I'm looking for surgeons who can do clavicle lengthening by distraction osteogenesis as described in this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23482270 but for completely cosmetic reasons. I'd also prefer if the surgeons are situated in a first world country like the US, Canada or a country that's part of the EU.

I'm aware that there are doctors who perform clavicle lengthening by other measures, however as far as I'm aware only a total of one inch of width can be added, and I'm not aware if the surgery can be performed more than once on the same clavicle for more results. However, by doing distraction osteogenesis as described in the above study it can be lengthened by up to 40mm per clavicle, which is more in lines of what I'm looking for since I'm 2 inches below average in shoulder width.

Any ideas?

What does he mean by that? Has he done it before, or is he just making an educated guess? Because lengthening the clavicle would increase shoulder width guaranteed. Perhaps he means that lengthening it by artificial means would result in it looking unnatural?

would not advice clavicle lengthening for anyone


Why would it be any more dangerous than regular leg lengthening?
