Parotid Fistula Right After Facelift; Applying Pressure on this Ridge, Eating a Bland Diet, Scopolamine Patch the Solution?

Asked By:leakylucy

My Parotid fistula occurred immediately after facelift--the second day it was very evident. I am currently using pressure on this ridge and back to eating very bland diet and a scopolamine patch. Seems to help. I have been assured this will resolve but I am still concerned. thank you
