Tracheal Shave Atlanta

A tracheal shave is a surgery that shaves the trachea. The results are smoother neck skin with less skin crease, and the incision scar should be barely noticeable unless you lift your chin. The scar will become less noticeable over time. Patients who have had this surgery may feel some discomfort and may need to rest for a few days.

The procedure costs around US$3000 to $5,000, and can be quite uncomfortable. Because it is considered a cosmetic procedure, insurance companies may not cover it. The procedure can also be emotionally and physically demanding. It is best to schedule an appointment with a Atlanta plastic surgeon. The surgery can last up to an hour. The recovery time is approximately 30 minutes to an hour. For this reason, it is important that you make an appointment with a surgeon at least a few months in advance.

The goal of a tracheal shave is to remove the laryngeal prominence in the throat, otherwise known as Adam’s apple. The “apple” shape is associated with a masculine appearance. The tracheal shave Atlanta doctor, Dr. Fara Movagharnia, performs the procedure to reduce the protruding area along the neck and throat. The result is a more feminine appearance.
