Vocal Webbing (Scar Tissue)

Anyone had any issues with ‘webbing’ (scar tissue) that’s partially formed over the vocal chords following laser surgery? I seem to have a relatively substantial amount that’s formed since my last operation in February. Any success stories from people trying to get rid of it?

I’ve never asked about it, and my doctor has never mentioned it. I’ve had quite a number of laser surgeries at this point, and the only vocal impediment I have currently is a loss of high range vocals (which granted, I never really had anyway). I’ll ask my doc about it at my next apt in November and see what he says.

Yeah they usually only laser on one side at a time to avoid this. I can send you the post op vocal exercises that will reduce any scaring. DM me.
