A member asked:

Prominent adams apple, can i fix this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubt it: This is the thyroid cartilage. You unfortunately have a normal structure which is prominent. I doubt that any surgeon would modify its size. Remember the vocal folds are located within this cartilage and any manipulation of this cartilage might damage your voice.
