What can I do to fix my jawline/neck post thyroidectomy? (photos)

rna223
2 years ago I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and i had a my entire thyroid removed along with a few hundred lymph nodes. Since the surgery, my jaw and neck shape had changed dramatically and quite frankly i hate it. it’s my biggest insecurity and i want to know what can be done to fix the shape of my face. i have a lot of what i assume is scar tissue under my neck as it is very hard and stiff unlike fat would be. it’s like a slanted line straight from my chin to the base of my neck
