Case Presentation: This gentleman had a prior parotidectomy in New York which left a sunken deformity under the left ear and along the jaw line. The patient was told that this defect could not be fixed. The defect was corrected by Dr. Hamilton by placing a small amount of injectable filler material in the area of the deformity. This is the patient’s immediate result after a simple 20 minute procedure. Notice how the patient’s jaw line is restored and the sunken appearance in improved.
