FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need surgery for my thyroid nodule?
Not all thyroid nodules require surgery. Dr. Muffoletto will review your biopsy results and imaging to determine if surgery is recommended
Will I need hormone medication after surgery?
This depends on the procedure. Total thyroidectomy requires lifelong thyroid hormone replacement. Other procedures may not require ongoing medication.
How visible will the thyroid surgery scar be?
The incision is placed in a natural skin crease and typically heals to a thin, barely visible line.
