As a guy, where can I hide scars from a neck tightening surgery?

Med000
I am a 47 year old male. I had a growing double chin which i corrected with liposuction. It looks good only when i hold my head up and the skin on my neck is stretched.. I am considering a neck tightening surgery to do away with the excess skin. My question is if I do have this surgery, where will the scars be left? i understand it's usually left behind the ears but that may not work for males who keep a short hair and whose ears are clearly visible. What are the options for me?
