There are questions I would need to know to fully answer this, such as: do you have sinus conditions or do you have an abnormal nasal passage? An ENT doctor would be best to assist with these questions. However to answer your question in a generalized statement, vocal change does not typically happen after a Rhinoplasty.
The answer depends on what the inside of your nose looks like and your functional symptoms. If you have nasal obstruction or sinusitis that is corrected, after surgery sometimes the voice will be less "nasally" because you may have more airflow. Hope this helps...
Most of the time ones voice does not change after rhinoplasty alone. The voice is a complicated phenomenon, involving multiple structures. Normally a nasal voice has to do more with issues with the palate.
The" nasal voice" is usually related to a deviated septum, turbinate hypertrophy, nasal obstruction or chronic sinusitis. A rhinoplasty should not have any affect on the voice if that's the only procedure being performed.
HiI agree with Dr. Bridges. Any changes to your voice depend on the changes to the internal cavity and the nose. There are always some usually temporary voice changes due to the nose becoming congested and sinuses filling up with fluid. Most of these usually resolve. However, if your septum was very deviated and your turbinates very enlarged and these get fixed, your voice may change. If the nose is very large and if it gets quite a bit smaller, the voice can change. These are independent of any possible voice changes as a result of anesthesia issues with the voice box. We are just talking about quality of the voice. Ultimately some people have learned a certain speech pattern and even with a perfectly open and airy nose still talk in a "nasal" fashion. Speech therapy can help in those cases. First thing is first, your nose needs to be examined.
Usally after rhinoplasty voice changes are not significantly affected unless there is significant nasal obstruction. Donald R. Nunn MD Atlanta Plastic Surgeon.
Dear Romelo Richmond, A conventional reduction or augmentation rhinoplasty will not alter your nasal voice. If you want this to be addressed during your rhinoplasty, you should ask your surgeon or a specialist to point out the site that is causing the nasal tone. Common problem areas are the sinuses, turbinates, nasal cavity, and nasopharynx.
Pain after osteotomy is unusual. Please contact your otolaryngologist to make sure that this is not due to contact point rhinologic pain secondary to the pressure on the middle turbinate on the septum.If this is just normal pain due to surgery however, it will likely go away in 6-12 months.
Rhinoplasty is usually not performed until a girl has stopped growing, around age 15-18. So for now- patience is indicated, and she may possibly be less concerned with her nose down the road. If not, rhinoplasty is always an option when she is ready. Good Luck!
If you are having difficulty breathing through your nose, your insurance company may cover the cost to improve your functional problems. However, insurance companies most likely won't cover any costs to improve the appearance of your nose even if it is related to a broken nose. I...
