Cosmetic Surgery Techniques Can Enhance Thyroid Surgery Results, Medical College of Georgia

Cosmetic surgery techniques, such as having a patient sit or stand while incision sites are marked so they blend into natural lines of the body, can improve the aesthetic result of thyroid surgery as well, researchers say."We have found that while keeping the management of the underlying thyroid problem as the first priority, we can still achieve a maximal cosmetic result,” says Dr. David Terris, a pioneer in minimally invasive techniques that have dramatically reduced the size of the hallmark base-of-the-neck incisions.
