General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.
Is gland size the only possible cause of dry mouth?
The NHS advises that dry mouth can have a variety of causes, including medications and dehydration. A dry mouth alone cannot confirm a specific salivary gland problem. The starting point is to distinguish between consultation to reduce volume and treatment to identify the cause of dry mouth.

How should I list my medication?
Take the names of prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, sleep-related drugs, and even supplements. Don't stop arbitrarily because you think it may be the cause. It will be helpful for your healthcare provider to review when your dry mouth started and the date you changed your medication.
What if swelling or pain occurs when I eat?
Recurring pain or swelling related to eating should be treated separately from simple contour concerns. Write down which one it is and how long it lasts. Before changing your appearance with cosmetic injections, it is a good idea to check if you need evaluation of the cause or referral to another clinic.
Which goal should I explain first?
Please tell us if you are concerned about the outline under your ears, if your chin looks wide, or if you feel uncomfortable due to dry mouth. Even if the width of the face appears to be the same, the cause cannot be considered the same. Please clearly communicate that the important condition is not to aggravate any existing discomfort.
Is postponing treatment still a useful consultation outcome?
It is also a useful consultation to check the suitability of the procedure and come to a conclusion about not doing it. If you decide to do a dry mouth evaluation first, write down what information you would like to obtain and then discuss again. Before purchasing a package, we recommend confirming that it is compatible with your health status and desired cosmetic changes.
What should I say when booking in downtown Daegu?
When making an appointment for salivary gland botulinum toxin in Daegu City, please let us know that you “have regular dry mouth and would like a contour consultation.” Even if the salivary gland area is on the official list of procedures, that doesn't mean it's suitable for everyone. Please inquire about the scope of treatment you need before visiting Jungang-ro.
