[quote=CWB]I would agree following the natural crease or wrinkle in the neck would hide the scar best. I just had mine and I think it looks pretty good and hopefully it will get even better with time. [/quote]

I had the same kind of surgery (hidden in a fold in the neck, which as others have stated, is invisible unless pointed out) to remove a tangerine-sized tumor from under my jaw.

The surgeon originally thought that it was in the parotid gland, but it turned out to be a metastatic tumor in a lymph node. It took nearly two months to locate the primary in the base of my tongue, and in the search, three more metastatic tumors were found in lymph nodes in my throat (on the other side.)
