voicelift

Literally "increasing vocal cord volume", which is another possible translation if you want to keep it more literal.

"There are two general kinds of voice lifts: In some cases, implants inserted through an incision in the neck bring the vocal cords closer together. Doctors also use injections of fat, collagen or other substances to plump up the cords and make them more limber, so that the voice sounds younger."

I think "cordal" may be a coinage from the English "cord". It's not in Collins or the DRAE.

This is from a book on voice pathologies, and describes how the fat is injected, using the phrase "aumento de volumen cordal":
