I Had Facelift 2.5 Weeks Ago and Now Have a Leaking Parotid into Cheek. Recommendations?

I am using pressure, taking drugs to slow saliva, and getting nourishment through a straw so as not to encourage saliva. I have had many aspirations. Any additional ideas would be greatly appreciated. 3ccs were removed two days ago. It seems as though this might be quite rare. The rest of my procedure is really terrific and I healed quickly with very minor bruising.
