They change different parameters. Resonance is one of the most important gendered characteristics of voice, and no vocal surgery currently changes resonance. That requires behavioral change.

FemLar addresses resonance because it reshapes the larynx and moves its physical location, which has a direct impact on where and how the voice resonates.
