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.

Hello @crab

On the internet, I found information on a government clinical trial for Silk Voice. Here is the link,
--Clinical Trials
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04315415
If you read the article, you will see that the actual completion date for the clinical trial just ended April 18, 2022, so there might not be a lot of information yet about the results.

As I had an injection that lasted about 6 weeks as well, it was then recommended that I have surgery with a more permanent filler. I went to Cleveland Clinic for this procedure.

If you are going to be in Florida, Mayo Clinic has a facility in Jacksonville. You might consider getting a second opinion with Mayo before getting another injection. Here is a link you can use to request an appointment, http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

Has a surgical procedure been recommended or suggested for you?
