Hi there, I have had the Thyroplasty - the permanent piece put in for my parallized vocal chord and it is great. I had the injection once but could not imagine having that repeated every couple of months. I am very active and surgery was definitely the best option for me.
Good luck and I hope everything goes well for you.

Hello Jackie,

I really appreciate you posting about your surgery to treat the paralyzed vocal cord. I also had this surgery several years ago and agree that it is far better than the injections. In my case, the surgery, which was in 2014, is still keeping my voice relatively strong.

How did you find a good surgeon to treat this problem?
