Home » Recovery & Aftercare » Post-Operative Care After Voice Surgery
Successful voice surgery is only the first step toward achieving a clear, natural, and stable vocal outcome. What follows — post-operative care — is equally crucial. At Yoskarn Clinic in Bangkok, patients receive a comprehensive recovery program designed and supervised by Dr. Somyot Kunjak, a specialist with over 40 years of experience in voice and aesthetic surgery.
Post-operative care ensures that healing proceeds smoothly, complications are prevented, and the voice develops properly according to the surgical goals.
The first few days after voice surgery are vital for optimal healing:
Complete voice rest is required — no talking, whispering, or coughing.
Patients are encouraged to stay hydrated and avoid dry or polluted environments.
Pain or mild swelling is common and can be managed with prescribed medication.
Food should be soft, non-spicy, and easy to swallow to minimize strain on the throat.
Smoking and alcohol are strictly prohibited during the recovery period.
Yoskarn Clinic provides patients with detailed personalized aftercare instructions to follow at home.
Within the first week, patients return for a post-surgical evaluation:
The medical team performs endoscopic assessments to ensure the vocal folds are healing symmetrically.
Any early signs of irritation, infection, or swelling are promptly treated.
The clinic provides customized timelines for gradual reintroduction of vocal use.
This close monitoring ensures that recovery progresses safely and effectively.
Depending on the type of surgery — such as Voice Feminization (CTA or ACA) or Voice Deepening, patients may begin limited voice use after 1–2 weeks.
Only gentle, natural speaking should be attempted at first.
No shouting, singing, or excessive speaking during the early recovery phase.
The goal is to allow the vocal cords to adapt to their new structure without stress.
The medical team at Yoskarn Clinic tracks this phase carefully to avoid overuse injuries.
Once the surgeon confirms that healing is stable, patients begin voice therapy or training:
Professional speech therapists teach techniques to strengthen the new voice and improve resonance.
Therapy sessions enhance pitch control, tone stability, and vocal endurance.
Patients learn breathing coordination and posture to support sustainable voice quality.
This integrated approach ensures that the surgical outcome transitions into a functional, confident voice.
Recovery continues over the following months:
Stay hydrated and maintain healthy vocal habits.
Avoid smoking, shouting, or prolonged speaking in noisy environments.
Periodic follow-ups every 3–6 months ensure lasting vocal health and stability.
Continued voice exercises may be recommended to preserve flexibility and clarity.
