I'm finding it difficult to locate doctors that perform a tracheal shave. I've contacted ear/nose/throat plastic surgeons with no luck. I'd rather not travel to Boston or to another state if there are local doctors that can do this procedure. Any help would be awesome! I'm looking to have this done as well as rhinoplasty and some form of chin augmentation to make it more feminine.

Answer: Tracheal shave reduces prominence of the Adam's apple
A conservative shave of your Adam’s apple could give you a more feminine neck. Would have to consider that a shape of the Adams apple would only take care of the midline projection at the very top of the thyroid cartilage.
Hi,This can be shaved down, but if you are not interested in that, sometimes fat grafting is an option to help conceal the prominence. I recommend getting a plastic surgery consultation so you can get the best solution to your issue. All the best,Dr. BlaggAustin, TX
Adam's Apple Reduction requires careful thinning of the voice box cartilages. It is not commonly done in most males but is extremely commonly done in sex change (gender reassignment) surgery. You may want to consult a surgeon who specializes in these procedures.
