Surgery to reduce trapezoid muscles? (photos)

February 16, 2016
Asked By:Pheonixforever in Madison, WI

So, I guess I wasn't clear with my last question. I have large trapezoid muscles (between my shoulders and neck) and they've been like this all my life. They make me look very masculine and like I have a short neck. I'm wondering if there's possibly a somewhat safe procedure to reduce the size of them and make my neck area look more elegant and long? Although I know it would involved removing muscle. I'm going to attack a picture that obviously isn't me of what muscles I'm talking about.
