Answer: Leakage after Facelift from the Parotid Sorry to hear about your difficulty. As others have mentioned, this is a problem that will stop, but patience is the key. I give my patients the following advice if this very rare event happens. 1) When eating, put pressure on the site of leakage over your parotid gland, firm pressure2) See your surgeon regularly to assess the amount3) consider Botox to reduce saliva production.typically, after a few weeks #1 will stop it.

Answer: Parotid leak Like others, I would advise patience. I realize this is easier said than done, but to try to jump to some intervention is premature at this point. And, could potentially make things worse. Like others have mentioned, in addition to the medications which dry secretions, drains, compressions, bland diet, and Botox are the mainstays of treatment. Keep in close contact with your plastic surgeon, wear your garments, and statistics say that this should in all likelihood get better with time.Best of luck!
