Tracheal Shave Surgery to Reduce a Prominent Adam’s Apple
If you’re considering reducing the appearance of your Adam’s apple through a procedure known as a tracheal shave, or medically referred to as chondrolaryngoplasty, you may have encountered conflicting information. This surgery focuses on minimizing the size of the Adam’s apple to create a smoother, more refined neck contour.
At Pearl Aesthetic and Wellness Clinic, we are proud to offer the expertise of some of Bangalore's most experienced gender surgeons, specializing in gender-affirming procedures like tracheal shaves. Our team is dedicated to providing clear, straightforward guidance on every aspect of the process, from initial consultation to post-operative care, ensuring a smooth and informed journey.
What is Tracheal Shave Surgery for the Adam's Apple?
A tracheal shave, medically known as chondrolaryngoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to reduce the prominence of the Adam’s apple. This involves the careful removal of a portion of the thyroid cartilage through a small incision made under the chin, effectively minimizing the size of the Adam’s apple, which can be quite noticeable on some individuals.
This procedure is often part of facial feminization surgery (FFS), a series of treatments aimed at altering features typically associated with male appearances to achieve a more traditionally feminine look. While it plays a significant role for many transgender women in their transition, it’s also sought by cisgender individuals who may feel their Adam’s apple is overly pronounced for personal reasons.
The primary goal of a tracheal shave is to create a neck profile that enhances the patient’s comfort without impacting the function of the voice box. This delicate procedure requires a skilled surgeon who understands both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the throat. If a prominent Adam’s apple is a source of concern for you and you desire a subtler neck contour, a tracheal shave may be a viable option to consider.
Benefits of Tracheal Shave Surgery -
Adam’s apple reduction surgery, or tracheal shave, offers several advantages for individuals seeking to refine the contour of their neck. Here are some of the positive outcomes you can expect from the procedure:
Enhanced Neck Profile
By reducing the size of the Adam’s apple, this surgery creates a smoother neckline. For many, this results in a softer, more traditionally feminine neck contour or simply a more subtle appearance, depending on personal goals.
Discreet Scarring
The procedure involves only a small incision, typically made in an inconspicuous area of the neck. This means any scarring is minimal and easily concealed.
Convenience and Recovery
As an outpatient procedure, the tracheal shave usually doesn’t require an overnight hospital stay, allowing for a relatively straightforward recovery period and a quick return to daily activities.
Permanent Results
The changes achieved during this surgery are designed to be long-lasting, providing a lasting solution for those looking to minimize the prominence of their Adam’s apple.
The surgeon will tailor the approach to meet your specific needs, helping you develop realistic expectations about the outcomes. This personalized consultation will enable you to make an informed decision regarding Adam’s apple reduction surgery and provide insights into potential risks and their management.

I have known Dr Praveen for the past 3 yrs and I must say that he is a gem of a human being and a doctor. I've done liposuction and fillers treatment from him and I can say with great pride that now I'm more confident and at home with myself and my body. I've been in the kannada film industry for a long time and ever since my treatments , I've been getting more positive roles and compliments from the film fraternity.
Dr explained in detail everything and also suggested options. He didn’t push for any major treatment which generally otherwise I have seen people doing. He explained what result to be expected of each of the three treatment styles and how much time it will take. I have started my treatment and I will recommend him over many others.
The doctor was clear about the intricacies of the process. The doctor was observant in hearing about my thought process and clarified with all my queries. This made me more comfortable and gave me a relaxing mindset. I would recommend the clinic for my family and friends.
