How risky is pharyngeal flap surgery for correcting hypernasal voice? are there equally effective alternatives?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
It depends : Since every case is different, your surgeon can best estimate success of your procedure being suggested, for which it is always a good idea to get a second opinion before deciding on the procedure,
