Virginia Fonseca Attributes Deeper Voice to Testosterone Implant as Expert Calls Such Changes Uncommon

Her remarks coincide with heightened attention to her Carnaval 2026 preparation as Grande Rio's new Rainha de Bateria.

Overview

  • Fonseca said a past testosterone implant coincided with a gradual deepening of her voice and noted the device has expired with no decision yet on reapplication.
  • She denied currently using anabolic steroids but said she does not rule out the possibility, adding that she fears using such substances.
  • Integrative physician Lucas Lemes Barros stated that routine contraceptive implants typically do not alter the female voice and that changes are linked to prolonged high-dose androgen exposure.
  • The doctor described the implant as a subcutaneous device used mainly for contraception or specific hormone treatments and cautioned it is not indicated for weight loss.
  • Announced as Grande Rio’s Rainha de Bateria for 2026, Fonseca said she is training rigorously and also spoke about private emotional strain under social-media scrutiny.
