Beautiful voice-For some people a personal wish, which belongs to an attractive picture. For others an occupational requirement. In plastic surgery, calls himself the voice lifting operation and apply to professional singers, actors and other professional groups, which want to rack her voice or just beautify. For a few years, the rate of persons who wish to operate the vocal cords for purely aesthetic reasons increases however. The intervention should be however always medically indicated.
The vocal cords
The vocal cords or even vocal cords are part of the larynx and can under high stress over 1000 times in the second open and close. The vocal cords consist of the voice muscles in the focus. It is a fibrous structure, which is covered by a mucous membrane. The sound is produced by air from the lungs, which is forced through the larynx.
Voice away or vocal hoarseness
Performance and sound ability of the voice declines with increasing age and strong even in permanent stress of the voice. Harden the vocal cords--language and voice carrier and rough. In addition, accidents and diseases for a hoarseness or inflammation of the larynx may be responsible. In the worst case, the voice changes are caused by cancer or polyps.

Hyaluron-Spritzen helfen bei Falten am Hals oder hervorgetretenen Halsschlagadern gar nicht. Ich kann mir auch nicht vorstellen, dass irgendeine Klinik im Ausland so eine operationsfreie Lösung vorschlägt. Außerdem müsstest Du die Unterspritzungen dann bis an Dein Lebensende alle paar Monate immer wieder auffrischen lassen. In unserer Familie haben wir einen Plastischen Chirurgen und der hat schon einige der älteren Mitglieder operiert. Falten am Hals kriegt man nach seinen Erzählungen nur mit einer OP weg. Dabei muss viel Haut gestrafft werden und gerade beim Hals auch manchmal Muskeln positioniert werden.
