Leading the World in Adam’s Apple Augmentation
Dr. Deschamps-Braly is the world’s foremost leader in Adam’s apple augmentation innovation. In fact, he recently invented a groundbreaking new procedure wherein the patient’s Adam’s apple is augmented via a natural implant — sourced from the patient’s own cartilage.
What Is Natural Adam’s Apple Implant Augmentation?
Most commonly, female-to-male (FTM) transgender individuals expect that with testosterone therapy, an Adam’s apple will grow naturally to appear more masculine and further the goals of facial gender confirmation. Despite this being a commonly held belief, this is definitely not the case. In fact, if you do not already have a visible Adam’s apple, it will probably not grow bigger with testosterone therapy alone.

How Is an Adam’s Apple Augmentation Performed?
The augmentation procedure begins with Dr. Deschamps-Braly creating a natural implant made from cartilage taken from the rib cage, which is then shaped to augment the existing Adam’s apple. He then makes an incision in the throat, under the chin. The vertical muscles of the throat are then separated to expose the existing Adam’s apple. The new implant is then attached to the appropriate position to increase its size and make it project further out from the throat.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Adam’s Apple Implant?
Relatively healthy individuals who are seeking female-to-male (FTM) facial gender confirmation are ideal candidates for Adam’s apple augmentation surgery. However, the procedure may also be performed on cisgender males (male assigned male at birth) who wish to appear more masculine. Most commonly, this procedure is performed in combination with other facial masculinization procedures to make the face and neck appear more masculine. Depending on the desired outcome, an Adam’s apple implant is sometimes combined with chin augmentation or jaw augmentation to achieve an ideal balance of masculine facial features.
