It shouldn’t leave lasting damage, but may make you susceptible to further episodes of cellulitis. Do you have MLD for existing lymphoedema? If yes, mention this episode to your therapist he/she may treat head/neck/face to relieve any residual swelling.

If not, try YouTube for facial lymph drainage sequences.
