My dad had a neck dissection and part of his jaw removed in May. The scar has healed so well. Now, two months later, it looks like a wrinkle in his neck. I hope that with time, yours will heal up too! People dont even notice it unless he points it out. Of course, he is quite aware of it and feels self concious sometimes. I think he still looks just like my dad.
