Adam's Apple Augmentation

The price of Adam's apple augmentation includes your preoperative assessment, the evaluation consultation, the operation under local anesthesia with same-day discharge, and follow-up appointments.

It's for trans men whose neck is still smooth even though hormone therapy has deepened their voice, and for anyone who would like a more prominent Adam's apple.
