How Can I Reduce the Swelling on my Parotid Gland After Facelift?

May 26, 2012

I had a neck and lower face lift just over 2 weeks ago. It has been extremely painful and difficult to chew on my left side. Nearly all my swelling has gone apart from the huge swelling just below my left ear and also left cheek. I am in the uk and went to Turkey for the surgery, I have sent pictures and have been told that it just takes time, but this is not right. I am eating soft foods so not to chew and even then, the swelling gets worse and feels much tighter. Help
