I want to get Dr. Haben's triple procedure (glottoplasty, CTA, tracheal shave), but I'm quite concerned about how noticeable the scar from the CTA will be. To those of you who had the 'triple' or CTA with Dr. Haben, can you please share a photo of your scar? Thanks so much!

I didn't have the triple but I had my adams apple shaved by a reconstructive plastic surgeon 33 years go. Yes there is a visible scar and for a while I applied makeup on it to reduce the visibility. The scar is still there but people don't notice it unless I point it out and they move up close for a look. Doctor have learned how to close wounds so they are nothing more than a discolored line. The days of an ugly surgical scar are long gone.
