had a drain in behind my ear while botox injected , could the botox have been drained out?
Answer: Botox after facelift Botox can be used to decrease salivary production after a parotid gland injury so that the capsule can heal, sealing the leak. To ensure you are receiving the highest level of care, seek out a modernly trained, new-school dermatologic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who is board certified and fellowship trained in one of these “core four” cosmetic specialties. Membership in organizations like the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery help to identify a highly trained surgeon. Cameron Chesnut #realself100 Physician

Answer: Parotid leak after facelift If he injected into parotid tissue, it would not have drained out. This would have been for salivary leak which occurs rarely after face lift. If it is gustatory sweating, it would have been injected in the skin.You and your doctor should discuss oral use of anticholinergic medications to reduce salivary stimulation.
