Key Aspects of Tracheal Shave Surgery:
Recovery: While results are immediately visible, initial swelling and bruising usually subside within a week.
Procedure: A small incision is made (often under the chin) to access the thyroid cartilage. A specialized surgeon reduces the prominent cartilage while taking care to avoid damaging the vocal cord attachments, which are located nearby.
Risks & Side Effects: Risks are generally low but include voice changes (hoarseness), pain or difficulty swallowing, infection, bleeding, and scarring.
