OP Supporting Member (50+ posts) Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 72 | I have now went through my 2nd sergery. I had a scar running from left ear to half way through neck. now scar is ear to ear. I healed up after the 1st surgery rather nicely especially on sides of neck. Not sure why front of neck didn't as nicely. I did not have radiation but I will this time. Any tips or hints as to getting the scars to heal nicely. I have heard that radiation may prevent some healing.
Thanks as always!
