Could a European mini face-lift cause problems with saliva glands. I had this in 2020, due to aging skin. I had a full face-lift in 2003, after losing a lot of weight, and (this sounds weird), but I would salivate, get moisture on the area just below and a little in front of my right ear. My Dr. said it was a saliva gland, that when the skin was tightened was too close to the surface of my skin. He said it would go away and it did.
