I'm in my second week of recovering from a face/ neck surgery, and I’ve noticed a hole or indentation in the left side of my neck in the throat area. I also see 2 small incisions that my Dr did in that area. I have 2 more scars on my ears and scalp I do not have any incision in my chin area like others have. Is this normal? It is going to go away? I am very scared.
