Parotidectomy and facelift One treatment option we offer to patients with benign parotid tumors is a parotidectomy through a facelift incision. This alternative method effectively eliminates the tumor while preserving the facial nerve and providing an ideal cosmetic result without any additional risks. A parotidectomy with a facelift incision is a procedure that removes the parotid glands: • Patients who have a parotidectomy frequently notice a difference in their appearance as a result of the type of incision and reconstructive procedure used. • A facelift incision parotidectomy is a thorough procedure that combines the skills of our head and neck and plastic surgeons to safely remove parotid gland tumors with minimal scarring. • Your surgeon will execute a facelift incision that continues behind the ear rather than down into the neck, resulting in a more concealed incision. Dermal fat grafts (fat extracted from the abdomen or a muscle flap) are used to recreate the symmetry of ...

A parotidectomy is the surgical removal of the parotid gland, which is the largest and most important of the salivary glands. Neoplasms (tumors), which are quickly and improperly dividing cells, are the most common reason for the operation. Neoplasms can be benign (noncancerous) or cancerous. Components of parotidectomy: • The most typical appearances recorded in the medical literature are painless, noticeable growths. • Benign parotid gland neoplasms usually appear after the age of 40 and affect both men and women equally. • Women above the age of 60 are more likely to develop malignant growths. • Pleomorphic adenoma and Warthin's tumor are the most prevalent benign parotid neoplasms. • Mucoepidermoid carcinomas are the most common type of malignant parotid neoplasm. • Unlike other cancers, salivary gland cancers are thought to be unaffected by smoking and drinking. Types of parotidectomy : In parotidectomies, there are just two major distinctions to be made. • The n...

Mucoepidermoid cancer of the salivary glands is a type of cancer that is a rare epidermal cancer and develops in an individual when a cell acquires some changes in the genes responsible for the cell division. The symptoms of mucoepidermoid cancer include the lump in the face, neck, mouth, weakness or pain in the part of the face or difficulty in swallowing. Mostly an individual has to take the help of surgery, to remove the tumour. In some instances, doctors recommend that patients undergo chemotherapy or radiation therapy to remove the tumour. Mucoepidermoid cancer grows slowly, when it is at the initial stages but, this growth becomes very fast when the initial stages are over. Therefore if an individual thinks that he is suffering from mucoepidermoid cancer then, he should consult a physician. If an individual gets the treatment at the correct stage, then it can be cured very easily. Surgery to remove the tumour is available for both grades of adenoid cancer as low-grade tumours an...
