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
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

My experience at Oakville Plastic Surgery & Medspa has been phenomenal.
I had three procedures done at the same time by Dr. de Kleer. I had a tummy tuck and liposuction to correct the skin apron left from 110 pound weight gain and loss from prednisone therapy for a previous autoimmune condition. Dr. de Kleer also fixed my nipples from previously being pierced.
My consultation with Dr. de Kleer was very constructive. I was incredibly and noticeably nervous but that passed quickly as we continued to discuss the procedure. She made me feel very comfortable and spoke to me in a way I could understand. We discussed my wants and expectations. I wanted my body to look like I wasn't previously sick. I wanted that part of my life behind me. She very clearly laid out the procedure in steps and explained how she could fix about 90% but some stretch marks would still be there, just substantially shorter. I asked so many questions throughout this entire experience, so many almost comical now in hindsight, each one answered and explained for my understanding. I laugh thinking about what I asked now but I was never made to feel my questions were silly. (Some definitely were.)
After meeting with Dr. de Kleer I met Karen. Karen is an OR nurse. Karen is incredible. She explained to me what to do before the operation a couple months out, a couple weeks out, and day of surgery, twice. Once the day I met her and then a couple weeks before to ensure I was still on track. I can't stress how well my aftercare has been and it has been because of Karen's expertise and experience.
On the day of the procedure I was not as nervous as I thought I would be. Again, Dr. de Kleer has a way of making her patients feel comfortable and calm. And very excited. I thanked everyone and fell asleep.
My recovery has been a breeze. My one caveate was that I would not be taking any narcotics. Dr. de Kleer and Karen then divided a plan without narcotics. No problem at all. I took 2 extra strength Tylenol rapid release every six hours for 4 days. I was back and forth to OPS&M after two days, then a week then a month and so on. I knew I could get any assistance needed with a phone call or email.
I have also had the pleasure of being looked after by Kim the office manager. Kim was the first person at OPS&M I met. She explained the way the business side worked. She also didn't laugh at me the first day when she brought me to the examination room and I was so nervous I asked if I should keep my shoes on or off. Keana and Vanessa on the front desk have been fantastic at every interaction. Watching Kim, Keana or Vanessa interact with the patients and customers it is plain to see they enjoying interacting with and helping people. Every person I have encountered has been so kind and focused on my expectations and recovery.
As for my results--AMAZING. Dr. de Kleer has given me peace when I step out of the shower and see my torso in the mirror. Each stretch mark bottom was re-married to top. But most are gone. My appendix scar gone. My nipples, that entered the room a minute before me, gone. I feel whole again. I see no autoimmune reminders. I'm happy. I'm thankful.

I recently had a HALO treatment with Michelle. She was excellent. Explained the treatment process and post care. I highly recommend Michelle at Oakville Plastic Surgery Medspa.
