Tracheal shave for young woman?

Marie,This is something I do all the time for young women. The scar is well hidden and the results are predictably excellent.

 Hi, while the Adam's apple is more common in men, both men and women have tracheal cartilage, which is what causes the prominence. Therefore, if you have the prominence it can be addressed with a shaving procedure. In general, this will cost anywhere between 2,000-4,000 depending on your area. Best wishes,Dr. BlaggAustin, TX

When you look at an Adam's apple you are seeing the front of a structure called the thyroid cartilage, part of your voice box.  Men and women both have this structure, but it tends to be larger, pointier, and more visible in men.  In some women the thyroid cartilage is more prominent than in others, and with a thin neck it may be quite visible.  If having a visible adam's apple makes you self conscious, it can certainly be reduced.  Most of us who perform the procedure frequently do so through a small incision high in the neck.  You want an experienced surgeon as overly aggressive resection can put your voice at risk.  Prices vary by region, but typically it is around $3,000.  Bryan Rolfes, MD

Adam’s apple reduction can be performed on both men and women regardless of motivating factors. If you find that the thyroid cartilage is too prominent, it can be reduced in size. The key is finding a qualified surgeon who understands the anatomy and performs surgery under dual visualization (looking at the vocal cords with a camera and the cartilage through a well camouflaged skin incision under the chin simultaneously) so as to not damage your vocal cords. I wish you well!
