Considerations
The incision on your neck will heal quickly and eventually become hardly noticeable. New scar tissue is vulnerable to the ultraviolet rays of the sun, however. Especially for the year after surgery, you should protect your scar from the sun to achieve the best appearance. Once your incision has healed, use a sunscreen with a high SPF on your neck whenever you are participating in exercises that require you to be outdoors, such as swimming, bicycling or hiking.
