Management
- Avoid foods that cause higher salivation rates, reducing the amount of saliva produced and therefore leakage into tissues and swelling
- Pressure dressing for 48 bours to reduce the risk of cyst formation, unlikely from dermal filler treatments however
- Can apply pressure to gland while eating to reduce further reformations of the tract and help any perforations close more quickly
- Recovery should complete within a few days, however each patient will differ slightly so could take a little longer. If persists for longer than a week, consider specialist referral.
