Yes to both. And if I touched the area it was extremely sensitive, lots of tingles! But as they worked on it in PT it became less sensitive to touch and I have not had swelling for over a year. Redness has faded with time. Now that my hair has grown back after chemo I can't even see the neck scar from the disection. Have lost the double chin, though! :-) - Kris
