How do I get rid of my scar on my neck?

If I get my thyroid glands removed will it leave a scar around my collar/neck lining?

  • My doctor is telling me I have to get my thyroid gland removed. I was wondering if there was maybe a different way of dealing with this problem. Maybe, I should get a second doctors opinion, because I know if I get the gland remove I will have to be on medication, to replace the horomones the gland produces, for the rest of my life. However, if surgery is a "must", can I get surgery done that will not leave a scar? Can someone answer my question?

  • Answer:

    I have known a lot of people who have had this surgery. The surgeon always ensures that the line is as small as possible and ideally in a crease line. Initially the scar is quite obvious whilst it is still healing. Once it is healed you hardly notice anything. It is very small and faint. Often I have not noticed until people have told me about it. One other thing I would like to mention is that I would take your surgeons advice. S/he would not operate unless it was necessary. Good luck.

yes but it will be very lite and you can always wear a blouse or necklace. my grandmother had hers out and it was not that noticeable becuase her shirts always covered it
