Vocal cord paralysis

I have left vocal cord paralysis in the open position. The underlying cause is idiopathic. I have had one filler injection which worked, but it only lasted a month. I’m ready to try again and would like to know if anyone has tried Silk Voice by Sofregen which is being suggested by my laryngoglist. She has recently started using this newer filler and does not have enough patients to determine results,

Is anyone familiar with Silk Voice? Also any doctor recommendations for this procedure in Naples, FL?

Hello @crab and welcome to Mayo Connect. I can understand your wanting to find help for your vocal cord paralysis. I too, have a paralyzed left vocal cord (idiopathic) and I had surgery to put in a filler. Is Silk Voice, used as a surgical procedure or just as an injection?

How long ago was the vocal cord problem diagnosed? Does it just affect your voice, or do you also have swallowing problems?
