Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 114 | I had a lingual tonsillectomy on right side 4 weeks ago and was wondering would scar tissue already be forming? I have always touched this area (No gag reflex and big mouth) and it was soft to feel, and two weeks after surgery it was sore, but still soft to the touch. Now, it has a hard lumpy feel. Would scar tissue already be forming?
Thanks for any insight! | | | | | Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 7 Administrator, Director of Patient Support Services Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) | | Administrator, Director of Patient Support Services Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts)
