Frey’s Syndrome is a syndrome that includes sweating while eating and facial flushing. It is caused by injury to a nerve, typically after surgical trauma to the parotid gland.

Frey’s Syndrome is thought to occur in all patients who have parotid surgery without reconstructive surgery. Symptoms may vary in severity and usually only patients with severe symptoms seek treatment.

For permanent treatment, reconstructive surgery is the only option. In experienced hands, surgery has the added benefit of being able to reduce facial scars from incisions and correct facial deformities from the initial surgery.
