It has been a month since the operation, and the complications of general surgery are now impossible. The surgical site is hardened because of the scar of the operation, so don't worry. However, the essence of surgical scar is surgical incision with fibrous tissue hyperplasia to repair injury. In fact, in addition to the scar caused by fibrous tissue in the incision, fibrous tissue hyperplasia will be repaired at the deep surgical site of the incision. Two weeks to three months after operation is the reconstruction period of these tissues, which may contract and pull to the trachea, and subjectively may feel difficulty in breathing (holding your breath). If they just find it difficult, they can't sleep at night or there is no guttural sound (whistle) when inhaling and exhaling.
