I had a neck lift/lower face lift 8 days ago. When I take the first bite of a meal, stimulating my salivary gland, there is quite a bit of discomfort in the gland. This dissipates as I continue to eat. Is this normal.

Answer: Pain If you have damage to the parotid gland after surgery you will likely see some swelling on the cheek that worsens with eating. Saliva can leak out and cause fullness during meals. This can be treated with Botox and I would recommend close follow up with your surgeon to monitor the area

Answer: Salivary gland and facelift The salary glands or near the area where you’re working during a facelift. Occasionally they get disturbed during the procedure. The symptoms are not uncommon when this occurs. Fortunately with time this almost universally stops. It can take 4 to 6 weeks for this to happen.
