A prominent Adam’s apple is one of the more visible masculine features outside the face itself. A tracheal shave reduces its projection.
A tracheal shave, also called chondrolaryngoplasty, reduces the projection of the thyroid cartilage at the front of the neck through a small incision, typically placed in a natural neck crease. It addresses prominence, not voice — voice work, if desired, is a separate procedure and a separate conversation.
Because the vocal cords sit just behind the area being reduced, this procedure requires careful, conservative shaping to avoid affecting voice quality. It should only be planned in direct consultation with your surgical team.
A tracheal shave reduces your own cartilage; it does not involve a custom PEEK/DMI implant. It is planned and performed by your surgical team as part of your overall treatment plan.
