Who Is a Good Candidate for Chin Treatment with Belkyra™?

Belkyra™ is ideal for patients who have mild to moderate submental fullness and want a non-surgical solution. You may be a good candidate if you:

• Have excess fat under your chin that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise.
• Want to improve the contour of your chin and jawline without surgery.
• Are in good overall health with realistic expectations.
• Are willing to commit to multiple treatment sessions for optimal results.

Belkyra™ may not be suitable for individuals with significant skin laxity or those who need more extensive contouring. In such cases, surgical treatment options like a neck lift or liposuction might be more appropriate.

The Procedure: What to Expect During Your Belkyra™ Injections

Belkyra™ treatment involves a series of small injections directly into the fat beneath the chin. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, works by breaking down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. Here’s what you can expect during your procedure:

• Initial consultation: Your doctor will assess your chin and jawline, discuss your treatment goals, and determine if you are a good candidate.
• Marking the treatment areas: A grid pattern is drawn on your chin to ensure precise injections.
• Administering the injections: The treatment takes about 15-20 minutes, with multiple small injections targeting the fat cells.
• Post-treatment care: You may experience temporary swelling, bruising, and soreness, but these side effects typically subside within a few days.

Exploring Other Options for Double Chin Treatment

While Belkyra™ is an excellent non-surgical procedure, some patients explore alternatives to liposuction treatments for submental fat reduction. Other options include:

• Liposuction: A surgical procedure, or double chin surgery, removes fat instantly but requires recovery time.
• Skin-tightening treatments: For those concerned about sagging skin after fat loss, treatments like RF Microneedling can help improve skin elasticity.

Each method has its own benefits, so discussing treatment options with your doctor can help determine the best approach for your specific needs.

Recovery and What to Expect After Treatment

One of the biggest advantages of Belkyra™ is that it requires little to no downtime. Patients should be prepared for some mild side effects, including:

• Swelling and redness in the treated area.
• Temporary soreness or tenderness under the chin.
• Bruising, which typically fades within a few days.
• A tingling or firm sensation as the fat cells break down. Most patients can return to normal activities within a day or two, but it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for at least 48 hours to minimize swelling.

FAQs: Common Concerns About Belkyra™

How long does it take to see results? While some improvement can be seen after the first session, full results take a few months as the body gradually eliminates the fat cells.

Are the results permanent? Yes! Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not return. However, maintaining a healthy weight is essential to prevent new fat accumulation.

Does Belkyra™ tighten loose skin? Belkyra™ primarily targets fat cells and does not have a skin-tightening effect. If skin laxity is a concern, combining Belkyra™ with other treatments may be recommended.

Is the procedure painful? Most patients describe a mild burning or stinging sensation during injections. A numbing cream or ice packs can be used to minimize discomfort.
