Introduction to Voice Deepening Surgery

Voice deepening surgery, also known as voice masculinisation surgery, is a procedure that permanently alters the vocal cords to achieve a lower voice pitch.

Voice deepening surgery primarily raises or lowers vocal frequencies to match a patient’s gender identity, changing the pitch of the voice.

Individuals seeking a deeper, more resonant voice for personal or professional reasons may consider undergoing voice-deepening surgery. This procedure helps individuals align their voice with their gender identity, enhancing their confidence and self-expression.

Preparing for Voice Deepening Surgery

Consultation with specialised DrVoice laryngologists is recommended for those interested in voice deepening surgery to ensure they have realistic expectations about the results. Successful outcomes in voice deepening surgery are closely linked to the alignment between the patient and DrVoice team’s goals.

The surgery is often viewed as a last option after voice therapy and hormone therapy have not sufficiently aligned an individual’s voice with their gender identity.
