Is it true that anesthesia can mess up your singing voice??


Question: I'm going to be getting some surgery done but I'm interested in persuing a singing career. This is something that I've heard of and I really would like to know if its fact or fiction.
Answers: being on a ventilator for an extended period of time (days) can permanently damage your vocal muscles and reduce your speaking and singing quality. anesthesia won't hurt you at all
I've never heard of that. But if you do have a breathing tube in it can make your vocal cord folds relax.
Anesthesia, no. Having a ventilator tube in your throat can. If the surgery you having is minor, it is unlikely that they would ventilate you. But if you have a concern, talk to your doctor. There may be alternatives. Rather then gas, they can put you out with injections.
yep 4 real it cud..

temporarily yes but not in the long run
A tube is passed down your trachea between your vocal cords. This may cause some temporary hoarseness, but no permanent changes.
