In parotid gland surgery, an incision is typically made starting from in front of the ear and extending along the jawline. At the end of the operation, this incision is closed with subcutaneous sutures, adhering to aesthetic principles; this results in a minimally noticeable scar during the healing process. To further minimize scar visibility, the incision may sometimes be hidden behind the ear. Similarly, in submandibular gland surgery, an incision of approximately 3 cm is made under the jaw and closed with subcutaneous sutures. The prominence of any remaining scar after healing is generally negligible.
