Adam's Apple Reduction
An Adam’s Apple reduction (or chondrolaryngoplasty) is a surgical procedure that can permanently remove the visible bulge in the throat.
Minor procedure
This is a minor procedure leaving only a small horizontal scar in a natural fold of neck skin, leaving it barely visible.
An Adam’s Apple reduction does not change the tone of one’s voice; this is accomplished through voice surgery.
An Adam’s Apple reduction may be performed at the same time as other procedures.
