External incision or scarless - which tracheal shave method is safest?
trans4mation4meSep 17, 2024
I am currently considering tracheal shave. My concern is, however, the potential for damaging my vocal cords. I have a naturally feminine cis, gendered voice, and I want to make sure that I preserve it. I have consulted with doctors, some do the scarless method and others do the external incision. All tout their method to be the safest and the gold standard so I am not sure who to believe. I know it all comes down to surgeon skills, but objectively and medically speaking, which is safest?!
