Is 2 inch clavicle lengthening even worth it?

Like is it even going to be noticeable if you are average / below average?

2 inch in width is a pretty big difference tbh

yes

yes. test it out by stuffing socks or sum shit at either ends of your shirt. The difference is night and day

Have you talked to a doctor who can perform it? A results never been reviewed or posted on the internet (except on deformed people)

yeah bro this surgery is really a big risk in this sense, nobody knows how you end up

I think though since you just do an osteotomy and stick a piece of bone and screw, rather than lengthen as they do in LL, and because it is only 1 inch per shoulder, logically speaking it should be safer

unfortunately I don't have 200 dollars spare to have consultation with the doctors but I will let you know if I do

It makes an enormous difference. Two inches can be the difference between below average and above average.

17. Shoulder breadth (bideltoid)

The average is around 18 inches and the standard deviation is a little over an inch. So you're getting a 2 standard deviation increase from the surgery.
To put that in perspective, it would be equivalent to someone saying they can give you 30 IQ points. Its pretty huge.

Big difference but not worth it compared to other surgeries price wise
