What is Voice Deepening ?
Voice Deepening operation is a treatment method that is generally demanded by men whose tone of voice is thinner than normal. These men generally experience social, business and emotional problems in their lives.
The voice of people is formed as a result of the coordination of the mouth, nose, larynx and lungs. The air that the person exhales from the lungs during breathing passes through the windpipe and causes the vocal cords in the larynx area to tremble. Voice is generated thanks to this vibration. This vibration in people’s vocal cords can be measured with the devices used by specialist doctors and the fundamental frequency of the voice can be determined. If this frequency value is above 180 Hz, it is perceived as female voice, if it is measured below 120 Hz then it is perceived as the male voice. Anything between generally creates controversy if the speaker is not seen physically.
Individuals whose tone of voice is thin compared to their age, gender, physical appaerance and personality are exposed to serious problems in their business life and social relationships. For people with this condition, Voice Deepening Surgery is the most successful, safe and comfortable treatment method.
