Among the main reasons for theappearance of a double chin can be weight gain, genetic inheritance and agingprocesses. Dietary and physical regimens are recommended to obtain thedesired results for the other parts of the body, but excessive adipose tissueunder the chin remains. This makes the patients feel older and fuller than they really are.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Belkyra ™?
Belkyra ™, a cosmetic produced by Allergan, is the first product for non-surgical treatment and contour enhancement due to submental fat caused by the excessive adipose tissue in the area.
The main ingredient of the product is deoxycholic acid – an essential molecule which takes part of the digestion and absorption of dietary fats. After the product has been injected into the fat under the chin, it causes the destruction of the cell membrane of the fat cells.
The treatment must be preceded by a consultation with a doctor. The specialist assesses the cause of the weight gain (the product is effective when there is an excessive adipose tissue in the area, not when the double chin is due to clean excess skin), gives information on the nature of the treatment and what patients should expect in the following days and weeks. The number of the sessions needed to get the desired results is also assessed.
The procedure is performed after the area has been locally anesthetized with a subcutaneous injection of Lidocaine through a fine cannula with or without the addition of topical anaesthesia in the form of cream.
A special „injection template“, given by the manufacturer, will be placed under the chin just before the procedure (15 minutes after the Lidocaine infiltration). The template will map out the exact injection points. The treatment is entirely done by injections, with the finest needle being used to reach into the subcutaneous adipose tissue. The volume of product injected in each point is 0.2ml (2mg) (the maximum tolerated dose for one session should not exceed 10ml (100mg) of the product). During the procedure the patients often experience burning sensation and / or pain when the product is being injected. Applying an ice compress for 15 minutes after the procedure reduces the discomfort.
What to expect after the procedure?
Swelling (edema) occurs as a result of the treatment. It is mostly visible in the first 1-3 days, after which it slowly decreases and most often disappears entirely for about 10-14 days, although it could last for about 20 days. Edema is a result of the degraded fat and it subsides together with the removal of the fatty residues by the macrophages. Meanwhile, the stimulation of collagen synthesis prevents the skin from sagging and ensures its tightening in the area. The effect of the treatment is assessed on the 28-30 day after the procedure.
The appearances of hematomas in the injection sites are also possible but they also disappear within the next few days. The degree of adipose deposits under the chin will determine the required number of procedures for an optimal effect. Satisfactory results are possible even after one procedure, although in most cases it takes about 2-4 sessions. The interval between procedures must be at least 4 weeks. The maximum number allowed is 6 procedures.
