Failure of this change leads to persistence of childhood high-pitched voice and is called puberophonia. Type III Thyroplasty- It is used to shoen (relax) the vocal cord. Relaxation of vocal cord lowers the pitch. This procedure is done in mutational falsetto or in those who have undergone gender transformation from female to male.
