What Is Salivary Gland Removal

The major salivary glands include the parotid, sublingual, and submandibular glands. For cosmetic purposes—particularly to refine the jawline—salivary gland reduction typically involves partial removal of the submandibular gland, which is located beneath the chin. With aging or after facial contouring surgery, ligaments that once held the gland in place can become lax, causing the gland to droop and bulge outward. This can blur the jawline and create the appearance of a double chin.

Even in patients without prior surgery, enlarged or protruding salivary glands can contribute to a thick, undefined jawline—something that Botox cannot effectively treat. By carefully reducing the drooping portion of the gland, the jawline becomes more contoured, and the overall facial silhouette appears slimmer and more defined.

When Salivary Gland Removal May Be Necessary

CASE 01
Visible bulge caused by sagging salivary glands

When the salivary glands sag, your jawline can appear less defined and dull. Botox cannot fundamentally address this sagging.

CASE 02
Unclear distinction between the neck and face

When fat accumulates under the chin and the salivary glands enlarge, the area beneath the jaw may appear swollen—creating the look of a double chin.

Depending on the case, salivary gland removal can be combined with facelift, platysma muscle tightening, or submental fat removal for more satisfying and noticeable results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q Will my mouth feel dry after salivary gland removal?

No need to worry—only the protruding portion of the gland is partially removed, so the procedure does not cause dry mouth or affect saliva production.

Q Is salivary gland removal always necessary during a neck lift?

Not necessarily. If the salivary glands have not sagged due to aging or facial contouring surgery, the procedure may not be required. However, in cases where sagging is present, combining neck lift surgery with salivary gland removal can help create a more defined and contoured neckline.

Q Is salivary gland removal effective for double chin or a poorly defined jawline?

If your jawline remains unclear despite weight loss, it’s important to consult with a specialist to identify the underlying cause and determine the most appropriate surgical approach. In some cases, combining salivary gland removal with procedures such as platysma muscle tightening, submental fat removal, or a neck lift may be necessary for optimal results.
