Ideal Candidate

The surgery is performed on the patients whose voice is perceived as of males despite trying hard to alter the pitch using training and speech therapy. A patient who is planning or has undergone transgender surgeries is also an ideal candidate for the surgery if he wishes to change his voice sound to make it more feminine.

Procedure

Voice feminization surgery is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. A tiny incision is made over Adam’s apple, which is parallel to the skin crease to ensure no visible scarring. After the incision, a part of Adam’s apple and voice box is removed. In a few cases, a metal plate is placed over the voice box to hold the surgical repairs allowing them to heal properly.

Recovery

The patient usually is discharged on the same day. There may be a little swelling that can last for up to three days. Patients are advised to keep their essential things at an easy distance and have voice rest for a week after the surgery. After the recovery, a new feminine voice can be heard after six weeks. Speech therapy is recommended for optimum results.
