All I am finding is for transsexuals and there websites don't seem to say anything about women which makes me a little insecure...I know that's silly. So any help finding a surgeon that does tracheal shaves in or near chicago. Pleare help!! And roughly how much is the cost?
Answer: Tracheal Shave in Women Although it is less likely to be needed in women, I definitely get quite a few female patients who request a tracheal shave. The main thing when looking for a surgeon is to ensure they use a technique that spares the vocal cords since they can be damaged. I use a camera to look directly at the vocal cords during the procedure. I don't know of anyone specifically in Chicago who uses this technique, but it is worth traveling to go to an experienced surgeon. Many surgeons now have video consults which would allow you to only travel for the procedure itself. Best of luck to you, Sarah Saxon, MD

Answer: Tracheal shave Thank you for your question. The American association of plastic surgery website is a useful resource with a listing of many plastic surgeons in your area. That would be the best directory to look for the right surgeon. Best wishes Theodore T. Nyame MD
