TContour
Invisible Adam’s Apple Surgery
TContour® is an innovative new invisible surgery technique that reduces the prominence of the Adam’s Apple without compromising its integrity or leaving visible scarring.
PREDICTABILITY
Investment in the latest 3D technologies ensures predictable, reliable and natural results.
HIDDEN INCISIONS
Hidden incisions mean the scar is as invisible as possible, while steps are taken to avoid tissue adhesions and protect your voice.
RECOGNITION and TRUST
TContour® has been internationally recognised by the scientific community as a pioneering facial bone surgery technique for Adam’s Apple surgery.
TContour®, Seamless Elegance in Adam’s Apple Surgery
Backed by more than 500 thyroid cartilage reductions and scientific articles published in leading journals worldwide, our experienced team has developed a technique that uses ultrasound instruments designed specifically for removing hard cartilage while avoiding surrounding structures so that they remain untouched.
Invisible Adam’s Apple surgery can transform your front and side profile, creating clean lines that maximise your confidence.
Key benefits of TContour® include:
- Reducing the size and visibility of your Adam’s Apple;
- Minimal scarring;
- Avoiding tissue adhesions which cause unusual skin movement when swallowing;
- Protect your voice.
What to expect from your facial bone surgery
TContour® is a technique developed by Skullpture following more than 750 tracheal shave procedures and 14 years of experience. TContour® is performed under general anesthetic, which means you’ll have any discomfort during your procedure.
TContour® reduces the most prominent part of your thyroid cartilage. This is done via a 2cm microincision, carefully made in a crease hidden under the chin. A tiny tunnel to the thyroid cartilage provides access for our team to augment it using the most suitable technique to attain the desired effect.
TContour® Results
Despite the subtleness of this surgery, patients can expect remarkable results. Some changes may be visible immediately after surgery as swelling can vary from day to day. It can take several months for the soft tissues to heal and settle, and for the final improvement to be seen.
TContour® is designed to minimise the prominence of the Adam’s Apple and create a smoother, sleeker neck contour that you feel comfortable with.
The procedure
-
The TContour® facial bone surgery concept is made possible by our investment in the latest technologies.
3D Printing and Cutting Guides
Our 3D printing capabilities enable us to create bespoke cutting guides for risk prediction and surgical planning. This ensures the design is faithful to what was agreed upon with you and ensures symmetry, precision and accuracy.
Ultrasonic Surgical Instruments
The ultrasonic scalpel is a versatile instrument ideal for the removal of hard cartilage found around the thyroid. Exemplary precision and accuracy ensure surrounding soft tissues are left unharmed, preserving the structural integrity of the Adam’s Apple, accelerating the healing process and reducing the risk of complications and side effects, such as vocal changes. -
Should an Adam’s apple reduction stand as your only procedure, the prospect of a same-day hospital discharge is very likely. However, in alignment with our commitment to furnishing superlative holistic care, we advocate for an overnight stay following the intervention.
Your release from our custodianship requires a meticulous evaluation by our team. Remarkably, the extrication of intradermal sutures necessitates no external aid. These singular stitches, constituting intradermal sutures, gracefully yield to self-removal approximately nine days after the surgical event.
Short-term recovery after a tracheal shave
Initial sensations of soreness, swelling, stiffness, and a discernible throat discomfort may manifest. Gradually, within weeks, these tribulations shall wane out, facilitating a delicate reintegration into customary activities.A moratorium of eight weeks is advised before embarking on any vigorous physical endeavours, with a gradual resumption via light exercises. Solicitations for subsequent consultations are welcomed at your discretion for the purpose of addressing any reservations.
Long-term recovery after a tracheal shave
The convalescent trajectory of the treated region persists over a duration exceeding a year. A tempered demeanour is requisite as the manifestation of feminine results necessitates patience.Our postoperative division remains at your disposal through electronic correspondence. Should you wish, a conclusive evaluation may be arranged after a year, a juncture by which substantial settling has occurred, enabling a judicious assessment of the transformation.
Embedded within our all-encompassing care ethos is our perpetual accessibility throughout your convalescence. Upon the lapse of a year, a definitive appraisal of the consequences arising from your tracheal shave will be extended.

Surgery, coupled with general anaesthesia, inherently carries potential complications delineated within the comprehensive informed consents meticulously provided to our esteemed patients.
TContour® proudly attests to a minimal complication incidence, boasting a rate of less than a mere 0.79%.
Post-surgical minor adversities, encompassing issues such as swelling, bleeding, and bruising, while conceivable, are vigilantly managed through expeditious medical intervention. Transient numbness and other minor sequelae of the surgical endeavour gradually recede over time.
The customary time frame for complication detection spans within the initial week post-surgery. For your tranquillity, we seamlessly furnish comprehensive medical insurance coverage, ensuring unforeseen medical exigencies in Marbella are adeptly addressed.
The tracheal shave, an ostensibly secure and straightforward avenue for amplifying your feminine aesthetics, is characterised by a statistically low complication rate.
Yet, it is pivotal to acknowledge that Adam’s Apple reduction ranks among the frequently revisited procedures. The methodology mandates an artful equilibrium in the reduction of the thyroid cartilage. Unfortunately, dissatisfied individuals often find themselves compelled to seek corrective interventions for tracheal shaves, prompted by suboptimal outcomes from inexperienced practitioners.
Our approach circumvents three potential pitfalls:
- Mitigation of overzealous reductions that compromise laryngeal structural integrity and voice quality;
- Adherence to meticulous protocols, averting conspicuous scarring;
- Prophylaxis against adhesions that could induce unnatural movements in the neck area.
How does our trachea shave method engender a more gratifying denouement?
- Diagnostic precision ensures a foreseeably modulated volume reduction;
- Implementation of advanced protocols yielding practically imperceptible scars;
- Adherence to optimal practices forestalling fibrosis in adjacent tissues.
