My surgeries were also outpatient, but unlike Jules, I had no drain put in. Dr. Samji prescribed a course of post op prednisone to help combat swelling. I had much more throat swelling after my first surgery than my second because my first surgery was a bit more complicated. There are things that a surgeon can’t see/know until (s)he has you “opened up”. I had a nerve wrapped around my right styloid which had to be unwrapped a bit so the styloid could be shortened. That caused the surgery to take longer & probably was the cause of the extra swelling in my throat & neck post op. The post op period after my second surgery was “a walk in the park” comparatively. We are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Ps. 139:14) so each person’s physical “layout” is unique & thus we keep our surgeons on their toes! 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.livingwitheagle.org/t/saw-dr-teresa-chan-in-dallas-today/2173)._
