Women with Visible Adam’s Apple
A visible Adam’s apple is a natural protrusion at the front of the neck caused by the thyroid cartilage. While it is often associated with men, some women also have a prominent Adam’s apple. This can result from genetic traits, hormonal factors, or underlying health conditions.
In many cases, women with visible Adam’s apples may face unwanted attention, stigma, or internal struggles with confidence and gender expression. Society’s narrow expectations around appearance can cause emotional distress for those who feel they don’t fit traditional norms.
But it’s essential to recognise that an Adam’s apple does not define a person’s gender. Gender identity is deeply personal and shaped by many biological, emotional, and cultural influences.
In some cases, women with a visible Adam’s apple may face stigma and discrimination. This can lead to feelings of insecurity, low self-esteem, and difficulty fitting in with societal expectations of gender and appearance.
It is important to understand that the presence of an Adam’s apple does not determine a person’s gender identity. Gender is a complex and deeply personal aspect of one’s identity that can encompass a variety of factors, including biological, psychological, and cultural influences.

Treatment Options for Reducing a Visible Adam’s Apple
For individuals seeking to reduce the prominence of their Adam’s apple, there are several safe and effective surgical solutions available:
-
Thyroid Cartilage Reduction (Chondrolaryngoplasty)
Removes a portion of the thyroid cartilage to create a smoother neck profile. -
Laryngeal Shaving
Involves delicately removing soft tissue around the larynx to reduce its projection. -
Voice Surgery
Sometimes paired with cartilage reduction to adjust vocal pitch and tone, particularly if voice dysphoria is present. -
Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS)
A comprehensive approach that may include Adam’s apple reduction as part of broader facial adjustments to achieve more feminine contours.
