Procedures reviewed and performed
Dr Cevizci is the named medical reviewer for the clinical pages on this site and performs the following voice procedures at an independent partner practice. Clinical decisions — including whether to operate at all — are his, made at his own practice; this site coordinates travel only.
Voice deepening surgery
Type 3 thyroplasty (relaxation thyroplasty) for pitch lowering in trans men and treatment-resistant puberphonia.
Chondrolaryngoplasty
Tracheal shave for laryngeal prominence, with attention to the anterior commissure and scar placement.
Puberphonia
Assessment and, where a completed course of therapy has failed, surgical management. Therapy first, always.
How review works
Dr Cevizci reads each clinical page before publication and checks it against current ENT and head and neck surgery practice. He is an independent partner surgeon rather than an employee of this site, which is both why his review carries weight and why we ask you to verify him yourself rather than relying on our description. The standards every page is held to — sourcing, the six editorial rules, the review cycle — are set out in our editorial policy.
Pages he has reviewed carry his name and the review date in the byline at the top. A clinical page without that byline has not been through review, and we would consider that a mistake worth reporting to corrections@voicesurgeryturkey.com.
Publications & memberships
Rather than reproducing a publication list you cannot check, we link to sources you can: Dr Cevizci’s own practice site at rasitcevizci.com and his public profile with patient reviews on DoktorTakvimi. His academic work is indexed under his name on Google Scholar and PubMed; search it yourself rather than trusting a summary here.

Ask about your voice
Tell us where your voice sits and what you want it to do. A bilingual coordinator replies and asks for a short voice sample, then an independent partner laryngologist gives an honest opinion — including “therapy first” where that is the right answer.
