Singing after tonsil removal?
This is both a medical and singing question, I couldn’t really decide where to put it but I’ll try getting an answer in singing.
Because I often have sore throats and I also have sleep apnea, my doctor has referred me to an ENT appointment for early next month and she said he may recommend tonsil removal. I’m not a very active singer, I perform in choruses and sometimes do the ensemble in musicals (I’m not very brave when it comes to singing, so I don’t take leading roles).
If I, hypothetically, did need tonsil removal, would I still be able to sing? I know the effect of losing your tonsils is having a deeper voice. Would I be able to sing but just with a lower part?
Currently I’m a baritone who can also sing somewhat into the tenor range. Would having tonsil removal just change me into a bass range, or is it possible I won’t be able to sing well anymore?
did you copy and paste that from another answer you gave someone, because I’m pretty sure the last time I sung soprano was when I was 10, being that I’m male and all.
Still, I get the idea. Thank you 
But I’m not a Countertenor nor will I ever be, certainly not after tonsil removal

Of course you will still be able to sing after the operation!! In fact, most people say that you can definitely sing much better with them out than in your throat. You will have a new ability to sing lower as an alto, but if you work for it, you will be able to sing high as a soprano as well!
I had my tonsils out, and my voice is much better without them! I can sing high and low and even better than last. It took me 2 weeks after the operation for me to sing again. And when I did, it felt amazing, like I had a new voice!
Go for it, it’s so worth it in the long run!!
GOOD LUCK!!
EDIT – No I didn’t copy and paste from another answer. Males do have the ability to sing Soprano.
