Hello, I am Kim Ga-eul.

Today, I wonder if there are people who are thinking if this is really true.

Sialaden Botox. Does it make the face smaller?

I came to explain about sialadenitis.

There was something fun when I was in medical school.

My close female colleague

came with her face changed round like the photo above.

It was because she had mumps.

(When we were young, the vaccination ~~MMR~~~ mumps ~ measles???~~ rubella)

Anyway,

when you get mumps, sialadenitis occurs, and it makes the salivary glands swell.

More than anything,

let's focus on sialadenitis.

There are

3 types.

1. Parotid gland

2. Submandibular gland

3. Sublingual gland (you can ignore this one)

The sublingual gland can be ignored.

The parotid and submandibular glands (when enlarged)

can undermine the contours of the face. (Like the photo above!)

The reason they enlarge is,

1. you can just think of it as muscle..

   Men with bigger muscles have bigger salivary glands.

2. Eating hard food can also make them enlarge.. strange, but it happens (because saliva production increases)

Ultimately, we need to reduce this

There are two methods to reduce it.

Simple 1. Botox

Not simple, but permanent 2. Removal surgery

1. Botox

Since salivary glands are similar to muscles, applying Botox will reduce their size.

They shrink because they become unused.

You can see a 30% reduction effect in volume with just one treatment.

2. Surgical removal (Parotidectomy)

The surgical difficulty is said to be quite high, but it is a permanent removal.

The reduction of the salivary gland would be approximately 30%.

If a single procedure results in a 30% volume reduction,

it is a very effective procedure.

Enlargement of the parotid gland is recognized as related to age,

so if your parotid gland is enlarged? Be sure to check it.

You can see it better when you lie down, hehe.
