Thyroid cartilage reduction? I am a male with a large adam's apple (see picture). I would like it reduced in size, while necessarily maintaining protrusion. Is this a particularly risky procedure? Can it be performed without making an incision directly over the adam's apple (maybe above it instead)? Would you do it?

Hello, hope you are well. In general, the better exposure a surgeon has to perform a task, the better the outcome will be and the lower the risk profile. The open approach (external incision) trach shave has been yielding good results for decades and is inherently safer than 'scarless'...
