What are Neck Surgeries?
Neck Surgeries at our affiliated hospital are procedures that can help to improve your neck appearance and youthfulness.
Among the procedures are Adam's Apple Reduction (also known as Tracheal Shave), Neck Lift and Revision Neck Lift. Tracheal Shave 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.
Neck Lift is a procedure to reduce sagginess in the neck in order to give patients a more youthful look. It tightens the skin to create a smoother neckline. Meanwhile, for those who have had unsatisfactory results from the previous Neck Lift, our affiliated hospital also offers a Revision Neck Lift to treat such issues.
Adam's Apple Reduction
At our affiliated hospital, Adam's Apple Reduction 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.
In this procedure, the doctor will remove the tracheal cartilage 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.
Neck Lift and Revision Neck Lift
Neck Lift is a surgical procedure that aims to remove excess skin and fat around the jaw area to help create a more defined neck. It enhances the appearance of the neck, jawline and throat area. In addition, a neck lift can help patients to eliminate fat deposits and tighten the skin on the neck. This surgery gives an immediate result of a more defined neck contour and smooth skin.
A Revision Neck Lift is a procedure used to treat poor results from the previous Neck Lift surgery. Issues that may happen from a poorly executed Neck Lift include uneven removal of skin, fat or tissues. A revision surgery can help to improve such problems.

FAQ
Q1: How long does a neck lift last?
A1: The results of a neck lift last up to about 10 to 15 years, depending on your skin condition and how well you take care of your skin.
Q2: Does a Neck Lift help to enhance my jawline?
A2: Although a better-looking jawline is a by-product of a neck lift, those who wish to enhance their jawline should not opt for a neck lift. This is because a neck lift mainly serves to tighten skin, reduce sagging and remove fat at the neck area.

Q4: Can Adam's apple reduction procedure change my voice to become more feminine?
