 

TRACHEAL SHAVE WILMETTE, IL | DR. MARK L. ZUKOWSKI, MD

UNDERSTANDING THE TRACHEAL SHAVE PROCEDURE

A tracheal shave, or Adam's apple reduction surgery, is a delicate
surgical procedure designed to minimize the prominence of the neck's
cartilage. This technique is particularly beneficial for individuals
seeking a more refined neck contour and facial feminization.

WHAT IS THE ADAM'S APPLE?

The Adam's apple is the visible protrusion of cartilage surrounding
the larynx, typically more pronounced in genetic males. During
puberty, this cartilage increases in size, creating a distinct bump in
the neck area that can be considered a masculine characteristic.

SURGICAL APPROACH

Dr. Mark L. Zukowski employs advanced endoscopic techniques to perform
tracheal shaves with minimal invasiveness. The procedure involves:

 	* A small incision under the chin
	* Precise shaving of cartilage
	* Careful preservation of vocal cord integrity
	* Muscle repositioning for smooth neck contour

PROCEDURE OUTCOMES

The tracheal shave aims to achieve a softer, more feminine neck
profile by reducing the visibility of the Adam's apple. Patients can
expect minimal scarring and a quick recovery period.

VOICE CONSIDERATIONS

While rare, the procedure may cause temporary voice weakness. However,
long-term vocal changes are uncommon when performed by an experienced
surgeon like Dr. Zukowski.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients typically experience minimal discomfort with slight bruising
and swelling. Most individuals fully recover within a few weeks,
revealing a more refined neck contour.
