Dr. Toby G. Mayer, M.D., F.A.C.S., has been performing voice feminization surgery for over 50 years, helping transgender patients align their voice with their gender identity — with results that sound as natural as they look.

This outpatient procedure raises the pitch of the voice into the female range, creating a tone that sounds unmistakably feminine, even over the phone.

How It Works:

• A tiny incision is made in the natural crease of the neck.

• The vocal cords are adjusted to elevate pitch.

• The incision is closed with a special stitch that can be removed like a hem, leaving a scar so fine it’s virtually invisible once healed.

• If desired, an Adam’s Apple reduction (tracheal shave) can be done during the same procedure.

Aftercare & Recovery:

• Minimal discomfort; most patients can fly home within 48 hours.

• Voice may sound hoarse for a few weeks.

• Avoid contact sports and strenuous activity for several weeks.

⚠️ Note: This procedure is intended to raise pitch only; it won’t improve singing ability or strengthen the voice. While no outcome can be guaranteed, Dr. Mayer’s decades of expertise have led to outstanding results with no serious complications reported.
