I just had the body fat implant 3 weeks ago in Mayo Clinic Jacksonville and it is wonderful. About 70% of my voice back and still better everyday. I recommend it 100%. Dr Amy Rutt did the surgery. Hope this helps

Hello @patriciagsr

I am interested in hearing more about the body fat implant. In the past, I have had a silastic implant in a paralyzed vocal cord but have never heard of the body fat implant. Does this come from your own body? I'd appreciate whatever information you can provide.
