Hi,

Just wondered if anyone had experienced anything similar? I have a swollen, puffy type area above my jaw bone in one of my cheeks. It doesn’t seem to extend to next to the ear/tragus but more at the middle towards front of cheeknder cheekbone. A few centimetres at least and no lump to speak of just feels puffy or swollen, slightly visible under certain light and not painful.

I’ve had an ultrasound done and was told they couldn’t see anything and parotid looked normal, I’m being further referred for an mri. But in the meantime I’m worried sick about what it could be.

Can ultrasound see through the muscles of your face?  I’m worried about what it may have missed.

Thank you
