Answer: Gland removal Based on what you've said, I assume you are seeking more jaw definition and a sharper transition between your jaw and neck. You noted that a portion of the gland was removed. The glands are beneficial for our baseline oral saliva production. While it's not harmful if they aren't present, they are beneficial.

Answer: Be Patient Hello, hope you are doing well. Thanks for posting your question and photos. I think your jawline and neck contour look well-defined. It has been about a month since surgery, and at this point I would still expect some edema (swelling) in the neck. So, you may want to wait a few months before assessing your outcome and contemplating any further procedures. It is not obvious from the photos that you have gland hypertrophy or ptosis; my suggestion would be to wait a few months and then ask your surgeon to re-assess or seek another consultation. It would be a very rare occurrence to for someone to have their entire submandibular glands removed because it's not generally necessary, and could actually cause a skeletonized appearance.
