When I was 5 years old, I underwent an
in-depth eye test, for which I was given
anesthesia. Unfortunately (as per the
doctors at that time), my parents were
told that the instrument/pipe through
which the anesthesia was given touched my
vocal chords and damaged them.
In my early school days, I had a lot of
problem in clearing my throat and had to
speak loudly and put more pressure on my
vocal chords. My voice was very hoarse.
Gradually, I learnt to live with it and
maybe after I reached puberty, my vocal
chords got a bit better. However, I still
have hoarse voice and have to put
additional pressure in order to speak.
I cannot sing songs with a high pitch and
get out of breath soon. I doubt if anyone
would like to listen to my singing due to
the hoarse voice.
But lately, I have been looking at
pursuing singing as a hobby and wondering
if there is a complete cure for my
problem? I really want to have a normal
voice.
In 1999, I was recommended to undergo
Microlaryngoscopy, reduction of my left
arytenoid, per umbilical liposuction and
fat augmentation of the left vocal chord.
The relevant items for this procedure are
41867 and 417870.
I am 33 years old now.
How shoud I go about it now? Any help
would be highly appreciated.
