Hi all - new here, hope everyone is going well with wherever they are in their journey. 

I had TT & left neck dissection in November 2022, so still very much in recovery. I was wondering if after surgery anyone ended up with issues with their eye? I’ve found that the side I had the neck dissection has resulted in my eyelid being droopy.  My surgeon has assured me that he hasn’t damaged anything connected to the eye. Eyesight is also fine. 

just concerned my eyelid will never go back to how it was and I haven’t really seen anything on any of the forums where others have had something similar. 

responses would be appreciated thank you 

  • Hi HariK

    Welcome to the group. I’ve also had a hemi then total thyroidectomy. I’ve not had any issues with my eyes but just wanted to say hi and welcome. There’s a lot of expertise on this chat (sadly not from me) and I’m sure someone will have some advice that will help you. 

  • Hi @HariK and welcome to the group.  Sorry I can't help but just wanted to say hello.
