Many people might joke about having a double chin, but the reality of it is far from amusing. It is not something that you have to live with, however. If you are concerned about the excessive skin or fat underneath your chin, you should see if Belkyra treatment is right for you.
belykyra
During Belkyra treatments, you can expect a series of injections aimed at reducing submental fat (under the chin), which may cause mild discomfort or a burning sensation. After the procedure, you may experience temporary swelling, redness, or bruising, with noticeable fat reduction typically visible within a few weeks.
The procedure involves a series of injections in targeted areas to stimulate collagen production. It typically takes 30-60 minutes, and you might feel mild discomfort, but the process is generally well tolerated.
aftercare
Expect some swelling, redness, or bruising, which should resolve within a few days. Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and alcohol for 24-48 hours, and follow any specific care instructions.
We'll discuss your goals and evaluate your suitability for collagen stimulators. You may be advised to avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol for a few days prior to reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.

Frequently Asked Questions
The ideal candidate for this treatment is any person over 18 years old with excess fat under the chin. This is not a good option for pregnant woman or women who are breastfeeding since the research on the effects of this on an infant or foetus are unknown.
Dr Hodges will place a topical numbing agent in the injection site to help ease the discomfort. The amount of injections that you will need is completely dependent on your circumstance.
Most patients need 20 injections, but as many as 50 might be required. This may or may not be performed in one session.
Sometimes it can take as many as six sessions to get the desired results. Patients will need to wait at least a month in between sessions. Dr. Hodges will create a custom plan for you to meet your needs.
The results will be visible four to six weeks following the procedure. You have to give your body a chance to use the acid and then eliminate the excess fat cells before you will know what your final results are.
You might have a little bruising in the injection site, but otherwise, your body should be accepting of the acid. As the acid metabolizes, the fat will break down and be naturally expelled.
Since the fat cells have been completely destroyed, there is no risk of fat growing back in that area. As long as you maintain a healthy diet and exercise, there is little risk of you developing a double chin in the future. Even though the fat cells have been eliminated, you do have them located elsewhere.
While the fat might not be in the exact same location, if you do not take care of yourself, you still risk having some fat return into adjacent areas.
