Scarless Feminization of the Neck
Scarless Feminization of the Neck
Endoscopic reduction thyroplasty is an advanced surgical technique that smooths the prominence of the larynx (Adam’s apple) without leaving visible scars on the neck. This procedure is particularly relevant in facial feminization processes, as it contributes to a more harmonious and feminine cervical profile.
The procedure is performed using a transoral approach, accessing the thyroid cartilage through the oral cavity. Using specialized endoscopic instruments, the surgeon carefully reduces and reshapes the cartilage, achieving a reduction in prominence without affecting the vocal cords or laryngeal function.

Dr. Jesús Lago explains endoscopic reduction thyroplasty
No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and sedation or under general anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. After surgery, you may experience mild discomfort that can be easily controlled with pain medication.
The results are visible from the first few days, although initial swelling may hide the final result. In general, the smoother contour of the neck is clearly visible between the second and fourth week.
No. The endoscopic technique is designed to avoid any damage to the vocal cords. Your voice will remain unchanged, although you may experience slight hoarseness for the first few days.
Most patients resume their normal daily routine within a week. It is recommended to avoid physical exertion, singing, or activities that strain the neck for 10 to 14 days.
No. One of the great advantages of the transoral endoscopic approach is that it leaves no visible scars on the neck, as the entire procedure is performed from inside the mouth.
