I'm concerned about my square jaw, and I'm confused whether I should get salivary gland Botox or square jaw Botox.

Hello, this is Baek Doo-san from Forever Clinic Cheongju Branch.

​

Botox is often the first method that comes to mind for those who want to refine their jawline.

​

However, when searching, the terms 'square jaw' and 'salivary gland' often appear together, causing confusion.

​

​

Although the two may seem similar,

their application areas and methods

are distinctly different.

​

​

Square jaw Botox aims to reduce overdeveloped muscles by injecting the drug into the masseter muscle, which is responsible for chewing.

​

It's easy to understand if you think of it as a principle of reducing muscle volume by allowing overused muscles to rest.

​

On the other hand, Cheongju salivary gland Botox targets enlarged salivary glands, such as the parotid or submandibular glands.

​

It is suitable for cases where the lower part of the jaw appears bulky or the jawline looks dull from a side profile.

​

You need to carefully consider

which method is right for your face shape.

Generally, if your face is wide or your lower jaw feels heavy, it's easy to assume it's just muscle-related.

​

However, in reality, many cases of enlarged faces are due to swollen salivary glands.

​

If the sides of your face or the area below your jawline feel blunt, you might consider Cheongju salivary gland Botox.

​

Also, some individuals may have both muscles and salivary glands developed.

​

In such cases, combining

​

​

both treatments

can help create

a more three-dimensional and

natural-looking contour.

​

​

Accurate diagnosis is essential because face shape is a complex interplay of various structures.

​

Caution is required as it is close to where facial nerves pass.

If the medication is injected into the wrong location, it can cause problems with facial muscle movement or excessively reduce saliva production, leading to discomfort during eating or talking.

​

Furthermore, caution is needed because the size and location of salivary glands vary from person to person.

​

Even in the same person, the degree of development can differ between the left and right sides, making the ability to finely adjust the dosage and location crucial.

​

The procedure must be performed considering various factors such as skin thickness and fat distribution.

​

If the required depth or location is not precisely matched, the surface may become uneven or remain bumpy.

​

These issues

​

​

cannot be resolved

simply by the passage of time,

so a precise approach by an experienced medical professional from the start is necessary.

​

Three things to consider if you are considering Cheongju salivary gland Botox

Please check the following three points.

​

First, ensure the clinic conducts a thorough analysis of your facial structure through sufficient consultation.

​

Second, observe whether the medical professional finely adjusts the dosage and location based on anatomical understanding.

​

Third, check if sufficient prior explanation is provided regarding potential side effects.

​

​

Cheongju salivary gland Botox is not a procedure to be chosen solely based on cost or popularity.

​

​

This is because it is a precise procedure

that requires consideration

of both facial form and function

simultaneously.

​

​

Especially since it is performed on sensitive areas, a more meticulous approach is needed.

​

Please remember that small differences can lead to significant results.
