Is Botox for salivary glands a potential solution & is it effective?

Asked By:okay12432 in New York, New York

(NYC area) I have been told by multiple doctors that the fullness underneath my jaw is due to my submandibular glands, and the only way to achieve the results I am looking for is excision. I am very nervous about undergoing such an invasive procedure and I've read about botox as a potential solution. However, it seems not many people offer this treatment. Is it effective?
