Tracheal shave for young woman?

January 13, 2016
Asked By:Marie1317 in Iowa City, IA

I am 19 and I was born female. However, I am petite and my trachea is prominent which makes me self conscious. You always hear an "Adam's apple" being characteristic of males so that on top of the appearance overall bothers me. I was wondering if it is possible to reduce this? And if so how much does it generally cost? Thank you
