Developed muscle tension dysphonia, my throat hurts more and there's scar tissue in my nose. Options to remove scar tissue?

LexaTerrestrialMar 10, 2019
I have sort of developed Muscle Tension Dysphonia progressively after my rhinoplasty. It's hard to even talk now. Has that ever happened? I am a vocalist. My ENT said that i can work around this & get my voice back to normal. But since i've had nose surgery there is a lot of scar tissue. And everything's tighter. The problem is my nose looks great so i'm scared to touch it. I'm seeing doctors to get opinions. But is there a way to remove scar tissue? Or restore some properties?
