Is it possible to have a tracheal shave or Adam's apple reduction without an external incision? (Photo)

Thank you for your question. A scarless approach to reduce the Adam's apple is possible via an incision in the mouth. I use the same incision to simultaneously perform the chin/jaw reduction and the tracheal shave. I was the first in the US to publish this technique and have extensive experience in it. Although technically challenging, it is very possible for you. Please contact my office if we can support you.

Dear Tristathequeen,There is an intraoral technique that can remove your Adam's apple. This means that you will not have a scar on your neck. The incision will be in your mouth.

The incision for tracheal shave (Adam's apple reduction) is usually very slight and heals well. It can look like a mole removal if there is anything remaining. We can also do it through the mouth. In that case, there is no visible external scarring.

Kamol Cosmetic Hospital offers 2 techniques for Tracheal shaving as follows:1.The open technique: The incision is a horizontal line between the neck and chin to hide the scar.2.Endoscopic technique. This technique has the advantage of being scarless. The surgeon accesses Adam's Apple through the mouth with an endoscope and reduces Adam’s apple cartilage (Laryngeal prominence) as much as possible to have a female profile. The operation lasts around one hour.
