If you come to the front,
there's a very important structure within our face.
[The tongue! And the esophagus!] It's the tongue and the esophagus.
What if Botox goes into the front of your face incorrectly?
PD: Dr.Lee, I'm on a diet these days.
PD: I think I lost some weight, but my face is the same.
I think your face got smaller
What\'s bothering you?
PD: Other places are fine
PD: I think the chin line is the same.
[A lot of people ask this question!] A lot of people ask me this.
But there are times
when this is different from the actual weight and elasticity.
What happens to people who often binge eat,
drink, or enjoy late-night snacks?
〈Salivary gland Botox 1. Salivary gland hyperplasia〉 Hello.
[Jfeel clinic Representative Dr.Lee] I'm Dr.Lee, the director who seeks the prettiest feeling.
I lost weight, but why isn\'t my face losing weight?
Am I gaining weight as I get older?
If you're worried about something like this,
it's not fat.
It could be salivary gland hypertrophy.
Salivary glands are the springs
that make saliva when we eat.
There's a gland under the tongue, a gland under the chin, and a gland under the ear
If this salivary gland gets bigger,
[Your face can look big and puffy] it makes your face look
puffy and round.
In this session, I'll tell you about the salivary gland Botox,
[Salivary gland Botox] which is a popular treatment these days.
〈Salivary gland Botox 2. The cause of the salivary glands growing〉 If you touch it like this,
there are people
who can feel something lumpy.
Salivary glands grow due to various causes
such as infection, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases.
There's something you need to know.
If you enjoy binge eating, heavy drinking, spicy and salty food,
you have to be careful.
If you overeat, binge,
or eat stimulating food,
to secrete a lot of saliva,
what happens?
[Overdevelopment of salivary glands due to a lot of saliva] Your salivary glands will be overdeveloped.
What if this process is repeated?
Like our muscles getting bigger,
the muscles around the salivary glands get bigger.
[The salivary gland grows in size] So, your salivary glands get bigger, too.
If you eat late night snacks,
you can't digest while you're sleeping.
And those with reflux esophagitis!
When food keeps coming up continuously,
then salivary glands think, "Oh, there's food in the mouth again?"
So they keep producing saliva, more and more.
[Salivary glands working non-stop] Then, the salivary glands continue working throughout the night.
As a result, they eventually become enlarged.
And for those who drink excessively or have chronic alcohol consumption...
Fat tends to accumulate in the parotid glands,
[The salivary glands become hypertrophied] which makes the salivary glands become bigger and bigger.
Also, when someone on a diet overeats,
some of them intentionally induces vomiting, right?
[Salivary gland stimulation, inflammation, and changing pressure] This stimulates the salivary glands,
causes inflammatory reactions and pressure changes,
and does harm to your health.
I strongly recommend you never to do.
〈Salivary gland Botox 3. Effects of Salivary Gland Botox〉 To alleviate excessive saliva production,
this is a treatment which injects Botox into the salivary glands.
Salivary gland botox is also used for cosmetic purposes.
[Salivary Gland Botox] It is used when salivary glands become enlarged or excessively large
to reduce the size of the salivary glands.
When Botox is injected into the salivary glands,
[Salivary Gland Botox] the botox inhibits signal transmission at the nerve endings of the salivary glands.
The salivary glands temporarily experience reduced function,
causing their size to decrease somewhat.
[Results in a slimmer face and defined jawline The facial contour becomes slimmer and the jawline becomes more defined.
Since salivary glands are located under the jaw,
a previously lost jawline emerges,
which improves facial contour line.
[Where is salivary gland botox applied? Sublingual glands : NO] We don't use salivary gland botox on the sublingual glands,
[Treatment on submandibular & parotid glands but commonly apply it to the submandibular and parotid glands.
[Submandibular gland botox for the 45-degree line] People who dislike the feeling of a 45-degree drooping line
mostly choose submandibular gland treatment.
[Sharp jawline with parotid gland botox] When people whose jawline don't appear defined get Parotid glands Botox,
their jawline could be significantly slimmer.
The problem is that we have five salivary glands,
and if we block two areas here and two areas there,
blocking four areas in total,
saliva won't be produced.
[Possibility of bad breath/voice changes] This could lead to bad breath or voice changes.
After treating either the parotid glands or submandibular glands,
once one area has been reduced,
[Moving to different areas approach] we proceed by moving to treat other areas or following this type of approach.
Shh! Keep this between us!
〈Salivary Gland Botox 4. Procedures That Work Well Together〉 PD: What procedures work well together with salivary gland botox?
Overall, what ruins our jawline
[Muscles/salivary glands affecting the jawline] are the muscles in front and the salivary glands in the back.
Sometimes people receive square jaw botox treatment,
and even though the muscle has clearly reduced, something still remains.
When they come asking about this,
it's actually not because of the muscle part,
[It\'s the salivary gland part that remains!] but the salivary gland part in the back that remains.
If you get salivary gland Botox too,
[Jawline + Salivary Gland Botox = Enhanced Results] you'll see even better results from jaw Botox.
On the flip side, some get jaw Botox
after salivary gland Botox
if the muscle’s still there.
〈Salivary gland Botox 5. Jaw / Salivary gland difference〉 PD: Can you tell whether you need
PD: jaw Botox or salivary gland Botox
PD: by the location?
[Salivary gland vs. Jaw Muscle] That’s right, check the location and how it feels.
[Try clenching your teeth!] If it gets bigger
when you clench, it’s muscle.
[If it doesn’t change, it’s the gland] If it stays firm
even after you relax,
that’s the gland.
[Parotid Gland] Parotid sits back, behind the bone,
[Jaw Muscle] and up front is the
jaw Botox spot.
If I could recommend one more thing,
some people think it's the parotid gland, but in reality,
it turns out to be the sternocleidomastoid muscle!
Some people have developed muscles that feel just like the parotid gland
[Neck vs. Jaw vs. Gland] Figure out if it’s neck, jaw,
or gland.
Then aim the Botox right there.
〈Salivary gland Botox 6. Cautions〉 Overdoing it
[Can lead to dry mouth and swallowing issue] can lower saliva, leading to dry mouth
or swallowing issues.
The further forward you go,
there is an important thing.
[Tongue! And esophagus!] It's tongue and esophagus.
What happens if Botox is injected too far forward?
It can make it hard to swallow.
In the case of the submandibular gland,
its position can vary slightly from person to person.
[If the submandibular gland's up front, it's a bit risky!] If it is a bit front, I'd like to say
it's a bit more risk involved.
Especially for pregnant women, people with neurological conditions,
those with Botox hypersensitivity,
or anyone who has developed resistance to Botox,
it’s better to avoid the procedure.
No strong massage or stimulation after the procedure.
You must absolutely avoid it.
So, how was today’s talk on salivary gland Botox?
Did you know that binge eating or heavy drinking
can affect your facial contour?
I’m sure many of you are hearing that for the first time today.
If you feel like this might apply to you,
[Be sure to consult a specialist thoroughly!] talk in detail with a medical professional,
[And choose a treatment that fits your face and habits.] and choose a direction that suits
your facial features and lifestyle.
