Important Precautions to Read Before Learning About Salivary Gland Botox

These days, many people ask about the difference between square jaw Botox and salivary gland Botox!

Forena Clinic​

These two procedures are strictly different procedures,

so you should not go ahead carelessly just because the improvement points seem similar!

So what exactly is this procedure?

What is salivary gland Botox?

It is a procedure in which Botox is injected into enlarged salivary glands (mainly the parotid glands or submandibular glands)

to reduce their size or regulate saliva production!

The Botox ingredient acts on the salivary glands, temporarily suppressing the release of neurotransmitters that stimulate saliva secretion. As a result, saliva production decreases,

and over the long term, the size of the salivary glands themselves also becomes smaller.

Accordingly, for cosmetic purposes, it is used to improve the overall facial contour

or to refine the V-line.

If square jaw Botox focuses on reducing the chewing muscles,

salivary gland Botox differs in that it focuses on the size of the salivary glands themselves!

Now, let’s look at when you might consider it or who the procedure is for!

When salivary gland Botox may be worth considering

01 When the face looks larger or wider due to salivary gland enlargement

02 When the salivary glands have developed from frequently eating hard or chewy foods

03 When the salivary glands have enlarged because they are irritated by habits such as frequent vomiting after overeating or binge eating

04 When there is no improvement even after square jaw Botox treatment

05 When excessive saliva production causes inconvenience in social life

Please be aware that minor or major side effects may occur depending on the individual,

and before receiving the procedure, be sure to consult with a medical professional and fully understand the side effects and precautions before proceeding.

After the procedure

01

For about 1 to 2 weeks after the procedure, you should avoid rubbing or massaging the injection area strongly.

02

It is best to avoid alcohol and smoking on the day of the procedure, or for at least 3 to 7 days.

Alcohol can cause inflammation, and smoking can slow recovery.

03

To maintain the effect and prevent recurrence, you should avoid lifestyle habits that can enlarge the salivary glands again, such as hard or chewy foods, binge eating, and excessive vomiting, after the procedure.

Please be aware that minor or major side effects may occur depending on the individual,

and before receiving the procedure, be sure to consult with a medical professional and fully understand the side effects and precautions before proceeding.
