I just completed a 5 day 4 mg Medrol dose pack after seeing my plastic surgeon for the persistent swelling ( ridge) in front of my ears and swelling that now extends across my cheeks. It did nothing to reduce the swelling. My face is much more round then it was. I am asking what I need to do or ask the plastic surgeon to get the swelling reduced sometimes it is difficult to chew because of the swelling. Is it a hematoma or swollen lymph gland or a ridge from the sutures or surgery itself?
