Will scar tissue from a traumatic parathyroidectomy and thyroid surgery interfere with repair of playtamus?

February 3, 2017
Asked By:Renamaesheila in Van Alstyne, TX

I had a parathyroidectomy and the scar was longer than planned. All but one parathyroid were removed and almost 2/3 of my thyroid due to finding a Lima bean sized adenoma. The scar has lightened, but seems to be right where one RealSelf doctor pointed out that my platymas had split.
