Asked By:dreamerpepe in Brussels

Dear Doctors, I had my Tracheal shave about 10 days ago. Somehow I wondering if the surgery was successful, because till today the Tracheal looks even bigger. And it feels like the incision scar is stuck to the tissue underneath. When I swallowing, during that action, the scar is pulled upward under the skin, drawing attention to it. Will that condition fade away within the time or that request another surgery to lose it?
