Hi Max, am just 10 months out from the neck dissection, and about 95% back to normal. Took a couple months before I could shave without a mirror, then gradual steady healing of the skin nerves. Maybe 4 months before the scar line was mostly smooth. Now it looks like an aging line. Time went fast... Fitness seems to really help.
