Dr. Sanford Archer answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Genetics: An adam's apple is the front part of the voice box and is a part of your body that is genetically determined and can be surgically altered, most commonly for sex change operations. Very thin individuals may have a prominence of their adam's apple due to lack of surrounding tissues.
