    Voice modification surgery, also known as phonosurgery, is an umbrella term for a variety of surgical procedures that alter a person's voice, and can be done as part of a gender transition.

    Voice feminization surgeries

    • A procedure called "anterior glottic web formation" creates a band (or "web") of scar tissue at the front of the vocal cords. This surgery raises a person's vocal pitch by eliminating their ability to make lower pitches. This surgery is not recommended for people who use their voice professionally (such as singers or other vocal performers) because it has a side effect of narrowing the airway.[1]
