Default Angle of the collar bones
Is there a "correct" or normal angle for the collar bones? Or maybe a range? And what is it? I didn't find much on the subject when poking around.

I've been told in an ideal, perfect world, your collarbones should be about parallel to the ground. Obviously, there are ranges and variances.

If you have some pre-TOS collarbone pictures of yourself, it's a good way to see if there are any differences - more defined, angled differently, symmetrical, etc.

One thing I've noticed since surgery is that clavicle has receded, so it doesn't really match my left side. I guess the first rib pushes the collarbone out and makes it more visible. I guess if I wore plunging necklines this would be more of an issue!

I was looking for images of normal clavicle/collarbones , you're right, not much out there.
I can't believe all the collar bone piercings images I saw..
And the broken /malformed ones.

There's such a thing as actual bone piercing? Egads.
