Parotid Botox: Square Jaw or Salivary Gland?
Not a square jaw but a salivary gland? The principle and effect of reducing volume by 30% in just one session.
What on earth are salivary glands? The reason everyone does not know makes the face shape larger.
Hello, I'm Kim Ga-eul.
Today, I wonder if there are people who are curious if it's real with all this saliva.

Salivary Gland Botox. Does it make your face smaller?
I came to explain about salivary glands. There was a fun thing when I was in medical school. One of my close female classmates came with a round face like the one in the picture above. It turned out she had Mumps.
(When we were young, there's a vaccine for MMR that prevents mumps and measles.)
Anyway,
when you get mumps, it causes sialadenitis, which makes the salivary glands swell.
let's focus on sialadenitis There are three types.
1. Parotid gland 2. Submandibular gland 3. Sublingual gland (you don't need to worry about this one)
You can just ignore the sublingual gland.
These two glands, the parotid and submandibular glands, can (if enlarged)
hurt the contours of the face (just like in the picture above!)
The reason they swell is,,
You can just think of it as muscle.. Men with big muscles have big salivary glands too. Eating hard foods makes them swell.. It’s strange but it swells (because saliva production increases)
Ultimately, you need to reduce them There are two methods to reduce them. Simple 1. Botox Not simple, but permanent 2. Surgical removal Botox
Since salivary glands are similar to muscles, they shrink with Botox treatment.
They become inactive and thus shrink.
With a single treatment, you can see about a 30% reduction in volume.
Surgical removal (Parotidectomy)
The surgery is said to be somewhat complicated, but it is a permanent removal.
The decrease in salivary glands is about 30%. If one treatment leads to a 30% volume reduction, it is a very effective treatment. The enlargement of the parotid gland is, perceived to be related to age,
so if your parotid gland is enlarged, please check it carefully.
Lying down makes it easier to see, haha. Botox treatment cycle

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Can salivary gland Botox actually make my face look smaller?
If the fullness along your jawline is coming from an enlarged parotid or submandibular gland rather than fat or muscle, Botox can shrink the gland by making it inactive, which may noticeably improve the contour in that area.
Q2. How much reduction can I expect from one session?
A single treatment can result in roughly a 30% reduction in gland volume in many cases, though individual results vary depending on how enlarged the gland was to begin with.
Q3. Is salivary gland Botox the same as jaw or masseter Botox?
No — they target completely different structures. Masseter Botox works on the jaw muscle, while salivary gland Botox targets the parotid or submandibular gland itself, which sits in a different location and requires a different approach.
Q4. What causes the salivary glands to become enlarged in the first place?
Similar to muscle, salivary glands can enlarge with frequent use — for example, eating hard or chewy foods often. Age is also commonly associated with parotid gland enlargement, so it's worth having it checked if you notice it.
