Botox for the Salivary Glands
Salivary gland Botox is a procedure that involves injecting botulinum toxin into enlarged salivary glands (parotid and submandibular glands)—which cause bulging below the ears and under the jaw— to gradually reduce the size of the salivary glands. If your lower facial fullness is caused by salivary glands rather than muscles, you can expect to see a change in your facial contours without surgery.
By dampening the secretory signals that trigger saliva production, the toxin reduces excessive salivary gland activity, and over time, the volume of the salivary glands decreases, resulting in a smooth, contoured appearance from below the ears to the jawline.
The procedure takes less than 10 minutes and requires almost no recovery time, so you can comfortably have it done as part of your daily routine. If the fullness that couldn’t be fully addressed with jawline Botox alone is caused by the salivary glands, you can expect more noticeable changes in your facial contours when combining it with salivary gland Botox.
Why Botox for the Salivary Glands
Another cause of a double chin on the side is
enlarged salivary glands.
The lumpy, protruding area below the ear and under the chin
cannot be resolved with fat-dissolving treatments alone.
Point 01
Reduces the size of the salivary glands without surgery,
The parotid glands (located below the ears) and submandibular glands (located below the jaw) are organs that produce saliva. If these glands are particularly prominent in some individuals, the areas below the ears and under the jaw may appear bulging, making the lower face look wider. Salivary gland Botox works by dampening the secretory signals of the salivary glands, reducing their activity and gradually decreasing their volume.
- Improve your jawline with injections alone—no incisions or surgery required
- Reduce the volume of enlarged parotid and submandibular glands
- When used in combination with Botox for a square jaw, you can expect more pronounced changes in your jawline.
Point 02
Where and how deep.
The injection site determines the outcome.
Branches of the masseter muscle and the facial nerve, which controls facial expressions, run near the salivary gland. When you bite down on your molars, the area that hardens is muscle; the area that does not is the salivary gland— After distinguishing between these two structures by palpation, inject the solution precisely only within the salivary gland.
-
Injection depth — salivary gland layer
Injected into the salivary glands rather than the skin or muscles, it acts specifically on the secretory glands
-
Injection Site — Salivary Gland Area Confirmed by Palpation
Inject the solution into the soft, rounded area of the salivary gland, avoiding the chewing and facial muscles
-
Capacity Adjustment — Units Tailored to Salivary Gland Size
Adjust the amount dispensed based on the size of the salivary glands and any differences between the left and right sides
How It Works
How Salivary Gland Botox Works
, which feels soft and rounded to the touch, precisely delivers the toxin to the salivary glands
The secretory signals transmitted to the salivary glands are attenuated,
reducing excessive activity in the salivary glands
As the volume of the salivary glands gradually decreases,
the area below the ears and along the jawline becomes more defined.
Treatment Areas
Treatment Areas for Salivary Gland Botox
Salivary gland Botox treatment focuses on the two salivary glands—
—that affect the lower facial contour.
Parotid Gland
The largest salivary gland, extending from below the ear to the back of the jaw. When it is well-developed, the area below the ear becomes rounded, making the lower face appear wider.
Submandibular Gland
A salivary gland located on the underside of the jawbone. When it enlarges, the area under the chin may bulge, giving the appearance of a double chin.

We recommend this to people like this
People whose lower face appears wide due to a bulge below the ear (

The Episode Difference
Why It's Different
Every process has its own unique reason.
01
You need to understand this thoroughly so that you can perform the procedure more effectively:
.
Through a pre-procedure examination and consultation, we first determine whether the bulge is caused by the masseter muscle or the salivary glands, and after checking the size of the salivary glands and any asymmetry between the left and right sides, we determine the injection volume and location.
ANALYSIS02
Check the exact product and quantity right before your eyes at
.
We review the Botox product to be used with you before the procedure and prepare the medication, and we transparently disclose the dosage (units) to be injected.
RELIABILITY03
, change becomes clearer when it is documented.
With online reports detailing treatment history, remaining treatment sessions, and skin changes, you can systematically manage this information and more objectively track changes before and after treatment.
