This study reviews chondrolaryngoplasty, a surgical technique for reducing the prominent thyroid cartilage (Adam

Area of Science:

  • Plastic Surgery
  • Otolaryngology
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • The prominent thyroid cartilage (Adam's apple) can cause significant distress for transgender men and some cisgender men.
  • Increasing societal demand for cosmetic reduction and contouring of the Adam's apple.

Observation:

  • A review of chondrolaryngoplasty, a surgical technique for thyroid cartilage reduction.
  • Follow-up data from 31 patients over a 17-year period, with observation durations ranging from 4 months to 17 years.

Findings:

  • Chondrolaryngoplasty is an effective procedure for reducing thyroid cartilage prominence.
  • The surgery yields satisfying results with a low complication rate.
  • The most common complication is transient mild voice weakness.

Implications:

  • Chondrolaryngoplasty is a valuable addition to the surgical techniques available to plastic surgeons.
  • The procedure offers a solution for individuals experiencing psychological distress due to a prominent Adam's apple.
  • Further research can explore long-term voice outcomes and refine surgical techniques.
