It is safe, but I'd say the odds are against this is the only function will be restricted. The brain stem contains the cranial nerves responsible for swallowing, 6 (12 total). Although we are only part of the nerve, which would also lose other neuronal functions, such as CN losing control of sensation in the face 5, 7 cn control movements of the face, NC 11 also makes you twitch. . . etc. .. Everyone has more than one function.

It can be very specific parts of the brain and the nature and location of the damage generally relate determines the symptoms. Although it would be very unlikly have only one effect can swallow.
