Had a modified neck dissection with a skin graft from my left arm into my left cheek. The swelling has been really bad. I didnt need a trachy but my neck and cheek are huge! Surgeon says he isnt worried but wondered if anyone could let me know their experiences and if there is anything I can do to speed up the healing. Everything else healing really quick so this is why I am feeling impatient about my neck. Thank you
