A tracheal shave, also known as a Adam’s apple reduction, is a surgical procedure that reduces the size of the laryngeal prominence (Adam’s apple) in transmasculine individuals. The procedure involves removing a small amount of tissue and cartilage from the larynx to reduce the size of the Adam’s apple and create a more feminine appearance of the neck.
Tracheal shave surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours. Recovery time can vary, but most patients are able to return to normal activities within a few weeks. Risks and complications associated with the procedure include bleeding, infection, and changes in the voice.
It is important to consult with a qualified and experienced surgeon who is familiar with the procedure and the unique needs of transmasculine individuals. The surgeon will help you to understand the benefits and risks of the procedure and to determine whether a tracheal shave is the right choice for you.
