Will the appearance of my shoulder blade improve after scoliosis surgery?

General Questions

I’ve had scoliosis for a long time, and my curve is around 80 degrees. Recently, I noticed that my right shoulder blade looks really strange and prominent, especially when viewed from the side.

I’m wondering if this is a common effect of scoliosis.

For those who have had scoliosis surgery, did the appearance of your shoulder blade and back improve significantly after surgery? Did the asymmetry mostly go away, or did some of it remain?
