Asked By:tvgal222018 in Boca Raton, FL

My throat swelled up so much was sent to the ER 2 days post-op. I have now been put on a Medrol dose pack & and antibiotic. I work in TV am too embarrassed to post pictures. Is there any chance of long term damage. I can't speak now, swallow or bend my neck, my neck feels like its a blow torch. I have not eaten for 2 days and was going to be back on camera in 10 hrs they stressed it was a no down time procedure. In fact the dermatologist's Nurse said my swelling was due to anxiety? new laser thermitight reps were there much stronger.
