Hi,
I have a question and I would be very glad if someone with experience could answer it… I am 38 old female and having an operation in month that is called thyroidectomy. They are going to operate on my neck and I am wondering if there will be any scar tissue following thyroidectomy?
Very thankful for replies!

Hey,
I had that operation.
A small cut is made in the neck near the collar line and then the soft tissues of the neck are explored and all or part of the thyroid gland is removed.
Concerning scar tissue following thyroidectomy: after several weeks the wound should heal well and it is almost invisible after 12 months.
Hope your operation will work out fine!
