Journal of voice, v 4(1), pp 86-90
1990
Abstract
Many professional voice users undergo cosmetic plastic surgery. Cosmetic procedures can be especially important for the professional who needs to improve appearance to enhance his or her career. It is essential for any patient considering such surgery to fully define the cosmetic change desired, to choose the appropriate procedure, and to avoid complications as much as possible. It is especially important for the professional voice user planning plastic surgery to understand the special considerations that could affect both the voice and the ability to perform in general. He or she must be able to choose a surgeon who understands the special needs of the professional voice user, who can make the appropriate decisions regarding anesthesia and choice of surgical procedures, and who understands both the transient and potentially permanent sequelae of cosmetic plastic surgery. With this knowledge, surgery can be planned that minimizes potential complications involving the voice or the artist's performing schedule.
