Parotid gland damaged lower facelift. Am I likely to need more surgery? (Photo)
Msw144Aug 19, 2015
My surgery was July 24th and it has now been determined it is definitely a parotid gland injury. This past Friday, my doctor drained and injected Botox and a drain tube to remain in for ten days. I am also taking Glycopyrrol 1mg three times a day. I have noticed little change since Friday and am not getting enough fluid in the drain tube to even measure. I am terrified I am going to have to have more surgery and my face will end up looking worse than it did before my facelift.
