however, full recovery of sensation is often impossible<\/p><p><strong>Facial nerve paralysis<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 even though we will almost always try to preserve the facial nerve (the nerve that moves the facial muscles), there is a certain risk (10\u201320%) of injury to the facial nerve during the procedure. This is generally temporary due to stretching and bruising and should resolve. However, in about 2\u20133% of patients, this paralysis will be permanent or recovery will be partial.<\/p><p><strong>Scar<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 you will have a scar; however, it will tend to fade over the next two to three months. After two months, you should massage the scar with a small amount of moisturizing cream two or three times a day to help the healing process. Some people develop a hypertrophic scar or even keloids (raised scars); this is mainly due to their skin type. This cannot be predicted before surgery and, if it occurs, it can be treated afterward. After the procedure, a slight depression of the cheek in front of and below the ear may also be noticed. Certain reconstruction techniques can be used to correct this. It can also be treated later, for example with lipofilling.<\/p><p><strong>Hematoma \/ Hemorrhage \/ Bruising<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 To reduce the likelihood of developing a hematoma (blood clot), a drain will be placed in your wound during the procedure. However, the appearance of some bruising around the face and neck area will be unavoidable. You should rest\/sleep in a seated position in your bed for a few nights to improve drainage and reduce swelling.<\/p><p><strong>Infection<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 is a complication that can occur after any surgical procedure. It can delay wound healing. In this case, you may need antibiotics and sometimes even specific wound care.<\/p><p><strong>Recurrence\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 In the case of tumor surgery, there may be a recurrence later. This depends on the surgeon\u2019s expertise, the type of tumor, and other factors.<\/p><p><strong>Frey\u2019s syndrome<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Sometimes, due to an incorrect and random connection of the nerves intended for the salivary glands with those intended for the sweat glands, patients may experience redness in the cheek area as well as sweating when seeing food or while eating. The treatment of this condition depends on its intensity and the discomfort it may cause.<\/p><p><strong>Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 After any procedure under general anesthesia, due to immobility, there is always a certain risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It is very important to move your legs while in bed and to get up as soon as possible. If you are considered to be at risk, special stockings will be prescribed for you, along with medications to thin the blood until you are able to move around properly.<\/p><p><strong>Salivary fistula<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 This is the leakage of saliva from the wound. It often resolves spontaneously, but may sometimes require additional treatment.<\/p><p><strong>Seroma<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 This is a collection of saliva\/fluid under the skin that will need to be aspirated (removed with a syringe and needle) on a few occasions to resolve the problem. It may persist for about two to three weeks after the operation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23e18a9 e-con-full e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"23e18a9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-323a39e elementor-view-stacked elementor-position-inline-start elementor-mobile-position-inline-start elementor-shape-circle elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-box\" data-id=\"323a39e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/Available only on WhatsApp\/\" class=\"elementor-icon\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-label=\"Available only on WhatsApp\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fab-whatsapp\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M380.9 97.1C339 55.1 283.2 32 223.9 32c-122.4 0-222 99.6-222 222 0 39.1 10.2 77.3 29.6 111L0 480l117.7-30.9c32.4 17.7 68.9 27 106.1 27h.1c122.3 0 224.1-99.6 224.1-222 0-59.3-25.2-115-67.1-157zm-157 341.6c-33.2 0-65.7-8.9-94-25.7l-6.7-4-69.8 18.3L72 359.2l-4.4-7c-18.5-29.4-28.2-63.3-28.2-98.2 0-101.7 82.8-184.5 184.6-184.5 49.3 0 95.6 19.2 130.4 54.1 34.8 34.9 56.2 81.2 56.1 130.5 0 101.8-84.9 184.6-186.6 184.6zm101.2-138.2c-5.5-2.8-32.8-16.2-37.9-18-5.1-1.9-8.8-2.8-12.5 2.8-3.7 5.6-14.3 18-17.6 21.8-3.2 3.7-6.5 4.2-12 1.4-32.6-16.3-54-29.1-75.5-66-5.7-9.8 5.7-9.1 16.3-30.3 1.8-3.7.9-6.9-.5-9.7-1.4-2.8-12.5-30.1-17.1-41.2-4.5-10.8-9.1-9.3-12.5-9.5-3.2-.2-6.9-.2-10.6-.2-3.7 0-9.7 1.4-14.8 6.9-5.1 5.6-19.4 19-19.4 46.3 0 27.3 19.9 53.7 22.6 57.4 2.8 3.7 39.1 59.7 94.8 83.8 35.2 15.2 49 16.5 66.6 13.9 10.7-1.6 32.8-13.4 37.4-26.4 4.6-13 4.6-24.1 3.2-26.4-1.3-2.5-5-3.9-10.5-6.6z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-box-content\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-icon-box-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/en\/Available only on WhatsApp\/\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAvailable only on WhatsApp\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Risques Acceuil \/ RISQUES Les troubles de la sensibilit\u00e9\u00a0\u2013 votre lobe de l\u2019oreille et la peau environnante sera endormi; ceci peut s\u2019am\u00e9liorer avec le temps, toutefois une r\u00e9cup\u00e9ration totale de la sensibilit\u00e9 est souvent impossible Paralysie du nerf facial\u00a0\u2013 m\u00eame si on essaiera presque toujours de pr\u00e9server le nerf facial (le nerf qui d\u00e9place les [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":293,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-303","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/parotide.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/parotide.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/parotide.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parotide.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parotide.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=303"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/parotide.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/303\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":602,"href":"https:\/\/parotide.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/303\/revisions\/602"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parotide.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/parotide.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
