Similarly to most aesthetic imperfections, the main reason for double chin is depositing of fat and ageing, or, in other words, slackening of skin, for which physical exercise or the strictest of diets are of no help. The removal of double chin can be supported by BELKYRA.
The new Belkyra method offers a noninvasive option for lower face contouring just by means of injections, which is well proven and safe. BELKYRA is an aesthetic procedure referred to as Kybella injections in the US and Belkyra injections in Canada, approved by the FDA and Health Canada as a safe injectable substance intended for a reduction and a potential elimination of fat under the chin. The objective is a noninvasive removal of double chin.
Belkyra is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally occurring in our gall bladder and stomach. It helps us break down and absorb fat that we eat. Put simply, Belkyra is a synthetic form of bile naturally produced in our body, and it also can efficiently destroy and eliminate excess fat cells. As our body identifies a deoxycholic acid molecule as a naturally occurring substance, it can be easily washed out together with destroyed fats with no adverse effects for the body whatsoever.
Up to now, liposuction was used as a standard procedure for contouring in this area, optimally ultrasonic or laser-assisted liposuction, leading to removal of excess fat tissue, skin strengthening and highlighting of the lower jaw line. Patients tending to excess skin and sagging facial skin may opt for a face lift and neck lift procedure.
Double chin is removed noninvasively using injections, without scalpel. The treatment is made under local anaesthesia brought about by a numbing cream. The treatment takes roughly 20 to 30 minutes. Following the procedure, the client can leave the clinic alone with no need for escort.
more informationThe active substance of Belkyra is deoxycholic acid that safely dissolves fat tissue, and then natural cleaning processes in our body removes it from the area. The substance disrupts cell membranes and they then burst. This is the difference of this method compared to weight loss, during which fat cells only become smaller. When using Belkyra, they are completely removed with no weight reduction diet required, and, moreover, they cannot return to the area.
During the initial consultation before the intervention, the plastic surgeon will assess the finding and recommend the number of treatment sessions, usually between three and six sessions, at least six weeks apart. The first treatment can be made during the first visit. Local anaesthesia using a numbing cream is generally applied, with roughly ten to twenty injections into the area. The preparation must be spread evenly across the area. The whole treatment takes about twenty to thirty minutes and involves very little pain. The procedure is suitable for both men and women and can be performed in both summer and winter.
The treatment produces contouring of the chin area including skin cover reduction and highlighting of lower jaw lines. There is no need of combination with another type of treatment.
For the best effect, several subsequent treatments are recommended.
Certain simple rules should be observed following the procedure.

The patient can leave the clinic alone with no need for escort. After the procedure, avoiding strenuous activities is recommended until the next day. Wearing an elastic mask during several days is also recommended to support shaping of the area and work against swelling.
An inconvenience following the application may consist in swelling in the area with a duration of up to several weeks. Bruises may also occur, however, they are absorbed in several days. The client can resume a normal working mode, depending on the course of healing, in particular swelling, on the second day, or in several days. A full physical strain can be recommended after 2 weeks.
Similarly to any cosmetic procedure, certain risks are involved, however, they are highly restricted due to a minimum invasiveness of the treatment. The procedure in only not suitable for patients with prominent platysmal bands. The Belkyra treatment is safe, as confirmed by its FDA certification.
Extensive studies involving thousands of patients were made, showing comparable safety parameters with other methods, such as hyaluronic acid filling. Despite of that, treatment using this preparation is recommended exclusively with specialists possessing an excellent knowledge of facial anatomy, including nerves and blood vessels. An injection near the facial nerve could lead to its injury detrimental to its function, in particular in the mouth area. Callosities may also occur in the application area.
