Aesthetic parotid surgery
It's common for Mayo Clinic surgeons to reconstruct the parotid bed after parotid surgery in order to restore normal facial contour and preserve the facial nerve. Researchers are currently using facial tracking software to better understand how these techniques impact facial appearance after surgery with the goal of having a completely normal facial appearance after removal of salivary glands (parotidectomy) when possible. Our patients tell us that the quality of their interactions, our attention to detail and the efficiency of their visits mean health care like they've never experienced.
