I am a 37 year old female, and I do not have a lot of
neck wrinkles (according to my thyroid surgeon when she looked at my
neck), so there may be a scar for quite some time, but the benefit in my case will be finding out if my nodule was cancerous and having it gone. I will be able to use scar healing ointment on the scar to hopefully minimize the scarring so when it heals and the swelling goes down, it will be less noticeable.
