Why Your Under-Jaw Bulge Won’t Go Away: A Guide to Salivary Gland Botox
Hi,
this is mesonbom clinic
If dieting and jaw Botox haven't fixed your double chin or wide lower face, the cause might be salivary gland hypertrophy (enlargement)
rather than fat or muscle.
At our Clinic, we target this specific issue using precision Salivary Gland Botox to restore a defined, slim jawline.
1. What Causes Persistent Under-Jaw Bulging?
The bulging under your chin or below your ears is often caused by enlarged salivary glands.
When these glands overwork due to stress, fatigue, or dietary habits, they swell and distort the facial contour.
Under the Ears (Parotid Glands): Enlargement here makes the face look wider and square.
- Under the Chin (Submandibular Glands): Enlargement here creates a sagging, double-chin effect, blurring the jawline.
2. Jaw Botox vs. Salivary Gland Botox: What is the Difference?
Many patients confuse jaw muscle (masseter) Botox with salivary gland Botox. They target completely different tissues:
| Treatment Type | Target Area | Main Goal | Key Benefit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jaw Muscle Botox | Masseter Muscle | Reduces chewing muscle volume | Slims down a square jawline |
| Salivary Gland Botox | Parotid / Submandibular Gland | Temporarily decreases gland size | Resolves bulging below ears & under chin |
3. How Salivary Gland Botox Works & What to Expect

Salivary gland Botox works by temporarily blocking the signals sent to overactive, swollen glands.
This allows the tissue to naturally shrink back to its normal size.
Onset of Results: Unlike muscle Botox, salivary glands require time to respond. You will notice a visible reduction in volume starting
2 to 4 weeks post-procedure.
Duration: Results typically last for several months depending on individual lifestyle habits.
- Maintenance: Receiving a touch-up before the effects fully wear off helps maintain a sharp jawline more consistently.
4. Essential Post-Treatment Care for Best Results
To maximize the longevity of your treatment, follow these guidelines for the first week:
Avoid Physical Stimulation: Do not massage or apply strong pressure to the treated areas.
Limit Heat Exposure: Avoid saunas, hot baths, and excessive alcohol consumption.
- Adjust Eating Habits: Minimize hard, chewy, or highly acidic foods that overstimulate salivary secretion.
