'''Chondrolaryngoplasty''' (also called '''tracheal shave''' or '''Adam's apple reduction''') is a [[surgery|surgical]] procedure in which the thyroid cartilage is reduced in size by shaving down the cartilage through an incision in the throat, generally to aid those who are uncomfortable with the girth of their Adam's apple. This procedure is done by some [[transfeminine]] individuals, because the Adam's apple grows larger during an [[AMAB]] person's puberty.

This procedure has no impact on the patient's [[voice]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=TRACHEAL SHAVE |author= |work=Keelee MacPhee, M.D. |date= |access-date=10 September 2020 |url= https://keeleemacpheemd.com/face/tracheal-shave/}}</ref>
