What is BELKYRA?
BELKYRA is a safe and effective injectable treatment. The procedure a leading nonsurgical option for submental fullness today, and when performed by a skilled and trained medical specialist, the double chin treatment helps to reduce the fat layer below the chin for a refined and rejuvenated jawline.
The injections are composed of a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a fat-metabolizing agent that is found naturally in our bodies. Once injected, this substance works to break down the membranes of targeted fat cells, causing them to collapse and be processed naturally by the body.
Are BELKYRA injections right for me?
If you are a healthy adult with unwanted fat below the chin, BELKYRA injections may be right for you. Fat accumulation in this area is often hereditary, which means that even those who are in great shape may still struggle with a double chin, despite their most diligent efforts at diet and exercise.

Other Options for Double Chins
- Liposuction: This surgical alternative requires anesthesia and moderate downtime, but it has long been a very effective option for reducing fat under the chin.
- Facelift: If your double chin is accompanied by sagging skin and jowls in the lower face, a facelift might be a better option for restoring definition and youthful contours.
Our surgeons and skin care professionals work with you to decide which treatment option is best. We can evaluate your condition and discuss other important factors, such as downtime, budget, and lifestyle, to find the right fit for your needs.

Meet Dr. MaWhat are BELKYRA treatments like?
Treatments are quick and simple, similar to other injectable services at our clinic. We begin by cleansing your neck and providing a local anesthetic to ensure your comfort. Next, we plan where we want to administer the injections by making small marks on your skin. Most people require several injections, placed about a centimeter apart, for optimal results. We perform the injections quickly: The whole process takes only about 30 minutes.

Learn MoreWhat is recovery like after BELKYRA?
There is very little downtime associated with BELKYRA, and patients can expect to return to their normal activities immediately following treatment. Patients may experience some swelling, tenderness and bruising around the injection site, which should dissipate within a few days.
How many treatments do I need?
Depending on the amount of fat in the area, the procedure may be repeated 2 to 6 times over several months for optimal outcomes.

Learn MoreWhen will I see results?
While experiences vary, patients typically see a gradual reduction of fullness in the area over a period of 2 to 4 weeks following each treatment, eventually resulting in the desired facial profile. Some patients may also notice skin tightening under the chin following treatment, resulting in a more youthful, contoured neckline.
How long do results last?
Your results can last indefinitely. While treated fat cells are broken down and flushed out by the body, other fat cells that remain in your body can still enlarge or shrink as your weight shifts. So, we advise maintaining a stable weight to help you enjoy your improved contours for many years to come.
