What is Adam's Apple Shaving?
Adam's Apple Shaving is also known as Tracheal Shave or Adam's Apple Reduction. It is suitable for those who want a more feminine neck with a less prominent thyroid cartilage. The wound from this surgery can heal in about a week and a lot of patients have seen good results from the surgery.
Adam's Apple Shaving can be done with or without other surgeries. Other surgeries may involve procedures under the facial feminization surgery to give a more desirable overall result. Other procedures can also be considered, subject to the doctor's examination.
How It Works
In this procedure, the doctor will remove the tracheal cartilage by shaving its borders so that the Adam's apple no longer protrudes. This depends on how much cartilage that can be removed from the larynx. Usually, the incision will be made in the crease under the chin area. The procedure will leave a small scar that will fade over time. Recovery may take a week.
