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?

Silk Voice by Sofregen is listed as an injectable implant.
I was diagnosed with LVCP in August 2021 after 6 months of hoarseness by a second ENT. After all testing to determine underlying cause, I was referred to laryngologist at Yale hospital in New Haven, CT. About 6 months ago I had my first filler injection under general anesthesia which worked well but only lasted a short time. My doctor mentioned Silk Voice as the next option. She has just begun using the material on her patients.
I’m hoping to find a laryngologist in Naples, FL to do the procedure ASAP and to find success stories using this filler.
