Has anyone had leakage as well? I'm going on 8 weeks. Its a social stigma. Large bump on cheek.The doctor has not tried any procedures yet. He has drained it a few times and it fills right up when I eat a meal. I don't trust him now and I done 't want him to repeat the procedure to take more gland out. He cut my ear nerve completely and part of my lip is weak. They have an injection of some sort as well they try. Also radiation. Anyone help me? Has anyone sued a doctor on this procedure?
