Adam’s Apple Shaving : Overview

Transsexual women often request surgery to decrease the Adam’s Apple bulge.  This procedure is possible with local anesthesia and sedation to keep the patient relaxed.  The surgeon places a small horizontal incision along a natural skin fold in the neck to expose the tracheal cartilage then proceeds to shave down the tracheal convexity. The patient may be discharged on the same day and come back for check up after about 7 days.
