For surgeons like me who chase the sharpest jawline and the cleanest neckline, that secondary bulge under the jaw matters. In select patients, part of that fullness is the submandibular gland.
When I talk about shaving the gland, the first fear is always saliva loss. That does not happen.
The submandibular gland is a minor salivary gland, and I am not removing it entirely. I am contouring a portion of it to restore definition. The decision is deliberate and conservative, based on anatomy and balance, not excess.
This is about refining the neck so the result looks intentional, natural, and long lasting, not overdone.
