Adam's Apple Reduction in Charlotte, NY | Nuance Facial Plastics

Understanding Adam's Apple Reduction

The Adam's Apple, or thyroid notch, is a prominent part of the airway that can interrupt an otherwise smooth neckline. Many individuals seek consultation to reduce its prominence, which can significantly impact self-esteem and aesthetic appearance.

Surgical Approach

Adam's Apple Reduction involves carefully sculpting the contour of the thyroid notch through a small incision. This delicate procedure requires specialized expertise, as the thyroid notch houses the vocal folds responsible for voice production.

Procedure Characteristics

• Performed in-office or outpatient surgery center
• Precision surgical technique
• Focuses on reduction and contouring, not complete removal
• Often part of Facial Feminizing Surgery (FFS)
