The laryngeal Prominence or Adam's Apple is a protrusion that is formed by the angle of the thyroid cartilage that surrounds the larynx. It happens during the puberty when larynx grows in the throat and is more visible in males, therefore giving them a deeper voice. A cosmetic surgery called thyroid chondroplasty can be performed to reduce the size of Adam's Apple. This surgery could change the voice of the patient and cause permanent damage, as well as scars on the operated area. The surgery is done by reducing the size of the thyroid cartilage.
