Haha, NO - that is me heading out the door to the doctor after my surgery. It's not really a neck brace, but it sure looks like one! I thought the dress offset the huge bandage around my neck! LOL I went in to have a humongoid lump removed from my neck. (it was discovered by a massage therapist - thank you!) I had it poked and prodded to death prior, which all came back good - but they said the only way to be SURE it wasn't cancer was to take the sucker out. So that's what we did. It took almost a week to get the pathology report back, but it too ended up coming back clear. Whew!
Here's the beautiful incision mark...
I have to admit, I was a little shocked at the size of the scar - but, I also have to remember it is better than the alternative. Hopefully it will lighten up over time, but until then I'll be wearing my hair down!
