Adrienne,

I had a bilateral neck dissection and massive swelling. For the most part it is just time, but working on the neck mobility and range of motion has helped. Also, my physiotherapist told me a 3 finger massage of the scarring would help, so I have been doing that as well.

Good luck, and keep us posted!
