Cosmetic Voice Surgery (Classical Approach)

The classical approach to cosmetic voice surgery focuses on natural pitch modulation without using implants or extensive modifications. Techniques include:

Cricothyroid approximation (CTA): Increases vocal cord tension to raise pitch.

Glottoplasty: A procedure that alters the shape of the vocal folds for a more feminine resonance in MTF voice surgery.

Laser tuning: A minimally invasive approach to adjust vocal cord thickness and improve tonal quality.

These procedures are often combined with speech therapy for long-term vocal adaptation.
