Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Depends: You should have your throat examined by your ENT surgeon. There may be enough tissue to have the tonsil remaining tissue removed. There is also sometimes lingual tonsil tissue that may not have been removed at the first surgery. This may have to be addressed.
