Adam’s apple Shaving
The Adam’s apple is a protruding cartilage clearly visible in most men, especially after the age of 30 when calcium has collected, transforming it into a hard bone, making surgery difficult.
Adam’s apple Shaving
The surgeon will make a horizontal incision, parallel to the upper neck line, underneath the chin at the highest point possible so that the scar is not visible. The surgeon will then use a surgical device to reduce the height of the protruding bone, making it as flat as possible. The surgery takes about 1 hour and can be undertaken using local or general anesthetics, depending on the age of the patient, and the height of the bone. If local anesthetic is used, patient may return home immediately after the procedure. If general anesthesia is required, an overnight stay in hospital is necessary.
