Hi Michelle,
I had a neck disection and had my lower left jaw removed. They replaced it with the small bone from my leg. I had the same kind of "cut" you had and I agree, it's not all that bad. Once my chin finally settled down and stopped looking like Jay Leno, I was amazed at how I looked like myself. Once this lymphedema under my chin resolves, the shape of my face will be exact. I am 7 months out from surgery and the scar on my chin is almost invisible. I now have a wonderful dimpled chin! I have yet to wear a turtle neck (to hot here) and I also have a trach scar that seems to be the worst out of all of them. I work with children and have learned that if they can look at it, touch it, do whatever they need to do, they will get past it much quicker then adults will. I am now at the point where I pass the "Kmart" test (people don't stop in their tracks when they see me in the aisle) and I think of the scars as a reminder of how lucky I am to be here.
