Voice Changing Surgery and Voice-Related Services in Bogota
At Centro ELEVA, we understand that your voice is not only a means of communication; it is a link to your true self. Find the voice that fits you!
Voice Feminization:
At our clinic, we specialize in voice feminization procedures tailored to elevate pitch and refine vocal quality as part of the MTF (male-to-female) affirmation process. By carefully modifying the structure of the vocal cords—thinning them and enhancing tension—this technique encourages a naturally higher frequency and a more resonant, traditionally feminine vocal profile.

Voice Masculinization:
The voice masculinization procedure performed at our clinic is meant to deepen the voice as a part of our FTM (female-to-male) affirmation protocol. The goal of this procedure is to alter the vocal cords so they are thicker and hold less tension. This, in turn, helps lower the frequency and pitch of the voice to make it sound deeper and more masculine. See more
Our procedures allow you to achieve the voice that reflects your true self externally and is congruent with how you view yourself internally.
