Seroma formation after parotidectomy: incidence, risk factors, and clinical implication

Anterior tumor location, larger tumor size, elevated body mass index, and facelift-type incisions are significant predictors of postoperative seroma after parotidectomy. Risk-adapted strategies, such as individualized drain removal protocols and early use of compression dressings, may reduce seroma-related morbidity.
