Belkyra® (fat lipolysis ) Double Chin Treatment
Submental fat—commonly known as a “double chin”—can be frustratingly resistant to diet and exercise. Often hereditary, this area of fullness may appear even in individuals at a healthy weight. Fortunately, there’s a safe and effective non-surgical option: Belkyra®.
Now available at Oakville Plastic Surgery, Belkyra® (deoxycholic acid) offers a proven way to reduce unwanted fat beneath the chin and define the jawline—with no incisions or downtime.
Treatment
Your journey begins with a personalized consultation with our experienced nurse injector. During your treatment:
- A temporary grid is applied to the treatment area to ensure precision
- Belkyra® is injected directly into the targeted fat cells
- The session typically lasts about 30 minutes
- No surgery or devices are involved—just a simple, effective injectable
How It Works
Belkyra® is an injectable treatment that uses synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down dietary fat. When injected into submental fat, it destroys targeted fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated by the body.
Over a series of treatments, this process visibly reduces fullness under the chin, revealing a more contoured, youthful profile.
Recovery
Following treatment, you can expect:
- Swelling, tenderness, or mild bruising under the chin for 7–10 days
- Gradual improvement over the following weeks as fat is processed and cleared
- Most patients return to regular activities within a few days
