How long will it take for swallowing to feel normal again after surgery?
It’s common for swallowing to feel tight or more difficult for several weeks after surgery. This usually improves gradually as swelling settles and should feel back to normal in around a month, although this can vary from person to person. If swallowing becomes very hard or painful after surgery, please get in touch with your team for advice.
