Experts in augmentation thyroplasty in trans men

Facial surgeries on trans men are in full development. Although trans women have been pioneers in facial surgery, trans men are already undergoing multiple surgeries to achieve more masculine facial shapes.

One such technique is augmentation thyroplasty. Augmentation thyroplasty consists of shaping the Adam's apple and projecting it as in CIS men to obtain a more masculine neck morphology, which associated with the gravity of the voice that is achieved with hormone treatment, gives the trans man's neck an enormously masculine appearance.

It basically consists of extracting a segment of cartilage from the rib, carving it and shaping it to be implanted in the nut, i.e. in the thyroid cartilage, approaching the neck through a small incision between the chin and the neck that is practically imperceptible. During this surgery we attach the cartilage we have shaped from the rib to the thyroid cartilage in such a way that it will not only increase the projection of the Adam's apple, but will also move with swallowing movements as in CIS men.

This novel technique for the trans man allows us to go a step further in body masculinisation.

What is augmentation thyroplasty in trans men?

Augmentation thyroplasty basically consists of increasing the projection of the Adam's apple to achieve a more masculine appearance of the neck.

What parts need to be touched to perform an augmentation thyroplasty in trans men?

It is necessary to approach the rib cartilage through a small incision to remove a piece and also the neck to implant that small piece of cartilage into the thyroid cartilage.

Is the result natural in augmentation thyroplasty?

The result is natural as the piece of cartilage removed from the rib is carved to the exact shape of the thyroid cartilage and anchored to it allowing it to move when speaking or swallowing.

Is the voice altered with augmentation thyroplasty in trans men?

No. The voice is altered by the hormone treatement and becomes deeper, so the thyroid cartilage augmentation associated with the deep voice allows us to achieve a very masculine result in the neck.
