I had a facelift 5 weeks ago and there is a large, lump on my right cheek next to my ear the size of a golf ball. My doctor told me it is a problem with my parotid gland, which produces saliva.
For the first few weeks I had to have the lump drained every night and in the last week it has just come up as a large, hard lump.
I would like to know if anyone else has had this problem and how can it be fixed! My doctor keeps saying it will go away.
