I'm a singer. I have a gig June 15. One month out. Is there a way to wear a support when I am not singing to compress the neck/ advice?. They pulled the skin tighter; there was loosening in one area and they re-draped the loose skin. I do not have sutures up to the tragus only along the bottom of the ear lobe. I am swollen under the chin scar more than the first time because they sutured the platysma muscles together. I have a long neck and I am thin. Any suggestions for using a technique or support bandage??
