How much does a tracheal shave cost?

Question

I'm looking for it to be done in either Dallas TX or Chicago IL because I have family in both cities I have a really small ‘adams apple’ but I just want to get rid of it. My main concern would be the scar is it something that would take awhile to heal?

As I'm in San Francisco, I don't have a true estimate of the cost in your area. However, the cost should be around 10K, potentially less. The scar can take a while to heal, depending on a number of factors. I perform a scarless technique for tracheal shave where I am perform the procedure from an incision in the mouth. I find this to be very favorable for my patients. I was actually the first in the US to publish this technique and have a robust experience in it. I would be happy to help you avoid the often-noticeable scar.

Thank you for your question about tracheal shave.

Realself provides data for the average cost of this procedure and others for your specific geographic area.  Cost can vary significantly depending on where you live, as well as different surgeon’s fee, anesthesia fee and facility fee.

To be sure, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.

I hope this helps.

Dear Mshbic27,The average cost for Adam's apple reduction in the US would be around 4000-6000 us dollars. Usually, the scar for Adam's apple reduction is a small 1-1.5 cm. A scar depends on ethnicity and tension on suturing, which will be different from person to person. There is an intra-oral Adam's apple reduction technique that leaves no scar outside. I hope my answers help.
