I had a face lift 12 years ago(!) primarily to deal with my (thanks, mom) turkey neck.. I developed a parotid tumor under my right ear on a lymph node. I wound up with some facial paralysis. Now, of course, my neck is showing drop and aging skin. Would scar tissue be an issue? This has been a nightmare for me....I would like to feel as youthful as possible.

Answer: Facelift Your facial nerve will be more exposed after your parotid surgery and I would suggest going to a very experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon before undergoing the procedure.

Answer: Facelifting after Parotidectomy Thanks for sharing. In general a previous parotidectomy would exclude someone from having a standard facelift. The Facial Nerve is now more exposed and at risk of being injured during the facelift surgery. You would have to find a highly qualified facial plastic surgeon that would be able and want to perform the facelift. There are newer non surgical technologies out there that can get some improvement without the risk of nerve injury. Best of luck!
