What Is Belkyra?
Belkyra is a non-invasive injectable treatment designed specifically to reduce submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. It contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb fat. When injected into the fat beneath your chin, Belkyra targets and destroys fat cells, resulting in a more defined and contoured jawline.
Who Is A Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for Belkyra if you’re bothered by a double chin that doesn’t improve with diet and exercise, and you prefer to avoid surgery. This treatment is ideal for adults with moderate to severe fat beneath the chin and who maintain realistic expectations about their results. A thorough consultation with Dr. Motakis will determine whether Belkyra is appropriate for your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.
What To Expect During Treatment
Belkyra treatments are relatively quick, typically lasting 15 to 20 minutes. A series of small injections are administered directly under the chin. Most patients require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart, with the average being two to four treatments. The number of sessions you need will depend on the amount of fat present and your desired outcome.
After treatment, you may experience swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area. These side effects are generally temporary and resolve on their own. As the body metabolizes the destroyed fat cells over the following weeks, you’ll begin to see gradual and lasting improvement in your chin profile.
