A member asked:

What if any options do i have to having vocal cord implant? lt vocal cord paralysis from lung biopsy 5/12/17.ent advises thyroplasty. thank you

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vocal cord paralysis: If the voice is weak and breathy and occasional food aspiration with coughing intervention is warranted. Thyroplasty is one of the main procedures to bring the paralyzed vocal cord to a more medial position allowing better glottic closure. Another alternative is a vocal cord injection with a filler such as radiesse.
