What is Salivary Gland Reduction Surgery?
Salivary gland reduction surgery is a procedure that selectively removes part of the overly developed submandibular glands (submandibular salivary glands), which can appear bulging and lumpy due to their prominence, in order to create a slimmer and smoother jawline.

Locate saliva gland and analyze size
MINE precisely analyzes the location and size of the salivary glands using the latest ultrasound examination.
Based on this, only the necessary portion of the enlarged glands is selectively removed,
reducing their size and creating a smoother jawline.

When performing salivary gland reduction surgery, it's not just about reducing
the glands — what's more important is the location of the sagging and exposure.
Some clinics perform a long vertical incision along the midline under the chin or along the neck contour for easier access.
While such methods make the procedure feasible, they can leave visible scars or even create psychological stress due to their appearance.
Especially when the chin is slightly raised, the scar can become noticeable, causing more distress.
MINE salivary gland surgery is different.
At MINE, we make the minimal incision of about 2.5 cm to 2.8 cm within the first natural neck crease under the chin.
This incision is carefully placed in a location that is not visible externally even when the neck is raised,
and through sophisticated suture techniques, the scar naturally becomes lighter over time.
Don’t worry about scars—focus on the results.
MINE will take care of it.

Salivary Glands, Fat, Muscles
MINE takes a different approach.
A double chin and sagging jawline are not caused by fat alone. Because the salivary glands, fat, and muscle layers are intricately intertwined, MINE Plastic Surgery Clinic takes all these anatomical structures into consideration. Through a multi-step process including salivary gland reduction and precision fat sculpting, we customize a sophisticated surgical plan to restore a refined and youthful jawline.

High-Precision Ultrasound Examination

Nerves, Blood Vessels Preservation
Identify the structure of nerves and blood vessels to perform a safe and precise surgery.
Scar-Minimizing
Incision
Incisions are along natural wrinkle lines in inconspicuous areas so scars are barely noticeable.
Natural Contour Enhancement
Instead of simply removing tissue, we consider facial proportions and balance to create a naturally refined contour line.
Who needs
Salivary Gland Reduction?
01
When the salivary glands are excessively enlarged,
making the area under the chin appear bulging.
02
When one side of the salivary gland is more prominent,
causing facial asymmetry.
03
When you want a sharper jawline or a more defined V-line.
04
When the salivary glands protrude after
double chin surgery or facial contouring surgery.
05
When salivary gland Botox injections are ineffective.

Salivary Gland Reduction Surgery Method
STEP 01
An incision of 2.8cm–3cm is made along the jawline wrinkle to remove double chin fat.
STEP 02
The protruding portion of the salivary gland is removed. Then, the underlying muscle (platysma) is tightened, and the incision site is sutured to complete the procedure.

LIFTING PROJECT
Q.
Is there any problem with saliva production or swallowing after removing part of the salivary gland?
MINE PLASTIC SURGERY
A.
There are three major salivary glands (parotid, submandibular, and sublingual), and even if only part of one is removed, it does not affect saliva production or swallowing function.
At Mine Clinic, we do not excessively remove the glands — only the visibly protruding parts are selectively and safely removed.
Q.
Can I eat or talk right after the surgery?
MINE PLASTIC SURGERY
A.
Since the surgical area is under the chin, chewing, speaking, and everyday conversation are all possible immediately after the procedure without any major issues.
However, it is recommended to avoid very tough or hard foods. During the recovery period, soft foods are preferred over irritating or chewy meals.
Q.
Will the salivary glands grow back after removal?
A.
Removed salivary glands do not grow back.
There may be temporary swelling after surgery, but this naturally subsides during the healing process.
