Yeson Voice Center

Previously, because my voice would often become hoarse, a friend recommended that I learn more about the ESSONG Voice Center Hospital. This hospital is considered a highly specialized institution for vocal cord treatments in Korea; it was established in 2003, and many singers and announcers come there for voice management. The chief physician, Kim Hyung-tae, has extensive experience in the treatment and restoration of vocal cords.

I had VFSRAC surgery with Yeson Experience was fantastic. They all seemed extremely competent and caring. I felt very safe going here. Kay Kim the coordinator answered all the questions I asked (too many) and was very patient. Dr. Kim explained everything in great detail and helped me with some unique issues I had with vocal tremor. Highly recommend. I cannot wait to hear the results. Check their instagram for many examples (mine sometime too). Thank you everyone at Yeson Voice Center!

I don’t know what to say. I had voices surgery in Yeson in 2016. Nearly 10 years has pasted. I am not very happy about my voice improvement. The recovering is not something you would say it’s fun. The results didn’t met the expectations. Dr Kim tightened my lower back of the vocal cords, I had 3 or 4 Botox injections and I followed the no speaking instructions period. The results is not very optimistic. My voice still sounds masculine. I understand that you have to do a lot of training and practice to achieve the feminine qualities of voice. For me, I did put much effort as I can, still, I don’t think my voice has improved much. I was let down by the outcome. The staff are pretty nice because they charge an astonishing amount for the surgery. I ask people to do more research, they have a good marketing skill, but the outcome could be unnoticeable. Be wise to spend your money.

I had vocal surgery done with Yeson in January of 2020 during the height of the Covid pandemic restrictions. They did a phenomenal job of guiding me through the process even with the extra Covid precautions upon entering Korea. Jessie was very helpful throughout the process and communicated everything to me both on the phone and in person when I arrived. She’s super friendly and a great representative of Yeson. It’s almost 3 1/2 years post op and I’m extremely happy with the results! Not speaking for about 2 months post op was difficult as well as trying my hardest not to cough or sneeze during the 1st month but I managed with the help of meds they gave me. I get gendered female 100% of the time both over the phone and in person now! Vocal training is still somewhat needed to help adjust but they game me instruction to follow and showed me in person how to do them before I left. I was a bit nervous at first as I couldn’t tell there was a difference right away but Dr. Kim had said it takes time as the vocal chords heal and I learn to adjust to them post surgery. He was right and as time went on my pitch, intonation, and overall voice continued to improve. The only drawback I’d say is a minimal amount of volume loss but it’s not terrible or too much at all and it’s so worth it! Once I got used to speaking with my new voice, I no longer need to put effort into it now to sound more feminine, it just works. I would 100% recommend Yeson to anyone needing vocal surgery of any kind, but especially trans women looking to improve their voice in a permanent way. Thanks so much to Yeson, Jessie, and Dr. Kim. You’ve all changed my life for the better in immeasurable ways and I’m truly grateful to you all

My VFS was unsuccessful, no female voice, my voice is hoarse and sounds sick. But I knew the risk. I was too old.

Very clean, Jessie speaks great English, as does Dr Kim. Everything was explained in depth and shown so there was no mystery to the procedure. Only 3 weeks post op, so I can't comment on the result, but great experience so far.
