My voice has changed after Chin Liposuction, is this normal?

Question

Had my lipo on my chin 3 days ago. After second day I realized my voice changed. My voice is like a very heavy smokers. I have never smoked in my life. Is that normal? will it go away? I'm going to see my doctor in cupel days but very nervous.

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

What type of anesthesia did you have for the liposuction under your chin?  If it was with a general anesthesia, it is possible that the voice could be temporarily altered due to a tube being placed down the throat.  If the procedure was done with a different type of anesthesia, it would be unusual to have the voice change.  I would discuss this issue with your surgeon to try and find a cause.

I assume you had only local under the chi9n anesthesia??? This should resolve in a few days. BUT I would see my surgeon ASAP to discuss this issue....

Majid Jamali, DMD · Answer

I agree with Echavez. The voice will return to normal after 1 week.  This is due to tube place around the vocal cords.
