Miley Cyrus Says Surgery Could Change Her Voice So She Won’t Do It
American singer Miley Cyrus has opened up about her struggle with a vocal condition called Reinke’s edema. In a heartfelt chat with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, she revealed how her past habits of drinking and smoking at a young age contributed to the problem.
Reinke’s edema is a swelling of the vocal cords caused by fluid buildup, often linked to long-term smoking. But Miley says her case is different — she believes it’s more about her genetics than just lifestyle. She explained that her voice has always had a unique sound because of her anatomy. Miley also shared that she has a large polyp on her vocal cords, but she’s hesitant to have surgery. She worries that the procedure could change her voice permanently.
“I have this condition called Reinke’s edema, which basically means my vocal cords have been abused,” Miley said. “Being 21 and partying, drinking, and smoking after shows didn’t help. But honestly, that’s not what caused it — my voice has always sounded this way.” She added, “There’s a big polyp on my cords, and I’m not ready to remove it because there’s a real chance I could lose my voice or sound different after surgery.”
