I love my neck dissection....makes me look slimmer..on that side! I told my surgeon that I wished he had done both sides for a good face lift! (J/K!)

You'll be fine....will be glad to send a pic by email if you wish. My scar does show, but I pay it no mind whatsoever. I am glad to be alive, and I was thrilled to have that neck dissection....proved as much as possible that my cancer hadn't spread, and it also removed the possible pathway for metastasis if indeed I did have a remaining cell or two. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it. I hope it's true!)
