I have had my neck opened 4 times, the scar does fade and becomes less noticable....if you want to "cover" it with makeup, get a green concealer and brush that over the length of the scar then use concealer that matches your skin tone over that...works great...I rarely if ever do this anymore because anyone who knows me knows my scar so why bother...
