[Press Release] Leif Rogers’ unparalleled clavicle reconstruction transforms lives

LOS ANGELES—Around the world, people see themselves in the mirror and see a body that doesn’t reflect who they are. Broad or narrow shoulders can denote a masculine or feminine appearance, contrasting with one’s identity and gender. For transgender and cisgender men and women there are solutions. Dr. Leif Rogers, world-renowned for his dramatic transformations in plastic and reconstructive surgeries and aesthetics, developed his own technique, and is one of the only surgeons globally, to perform the highly-complex operation of clavicle reconstruction. 

“The power of clavicle reconstruction is life-changing. I developed the technique I perform to shorten or lengthen clavicles because of its tremendous transformative power,” said Rogers. “Accessibility to clavicle reconstruction is limited because of the complex nature of the procedure, I want people to know they have an ally in me, and a solution.”

Shoulder width reduction or clavicle shortening surgery is an effective way to decrease the size of your shoulders to give a more feminine physique. Shoulder width broadening or clavicle lengthening is an effective way to increase the size of your shoulders to create a more masculine physique. The procedure can add or take away up to an inch of length, a small size change that creates a big effect. Rogers’ technique ensures that patients maintain full range of motion so that they are not sacrificing function for form.

Recovery from this clavicle reconstruction can take up to four months to see optimal results. Patients will wear a sling for about two weeks post-surgery and are advised not to exercise for 10 weeks after the procedure.  Rogers has patients stay locally in Los Angeles for 30 days to monitor healing and recovery.
