Removing the double chin

Does a sagging chin or a double chin bother you? Do not worry, you're not alone! A similar aesthetic problem affects many patients. Now, however, there is a unique solution to the problem, which is a completely new Belkyra. Thanks to the treatment with deoxycholic acid, which is the active substance, we can achieve a contoured chin or removal of the second chin. 

What is a sagging chin and a double chin, and what are the solution options?

A sagging chin or a double chin is caused by the build-up and loosening of the adipose tissue in the chin area. The cause of this condition may be both overweight and genetic predisposition to fat storage in this area. Due to the deposition of fat, aesthetic perception and facial contours are disturbed.

Belkyra is a brand-new formula from Allergan, a manufacturer of well-known J dermal fillings. The active substance of Belkyra is fully synthetic deoxycholic acid, which is injected into the chin area. This substance is often present in the human body, while it aids the digestion and absorption of fats received in the food. Prior to application, anesthetic ointment is usually applied to the skin.

What areas is the solution intended for?

Belkyra is a specially developed substance for the treatment of sagging chin and the double chin.

Belkyra Effect

Treatment with Belkyra is an outpatient procedure in which the active ingredient is applied directly to the underlying fatty tissue. After the application of the Belkyra solution, the fat cell degradation process is started in the treated area, the new fat cells are not further formed in the treated area and the fat does not settle again in the treated area. To achieve the resulting and lasting effect, 2 to 4 sessions are required at a 1-month interval. The patient returns to normal personal life after the treatment, the next day resting is recommended, swelling may occur which may persist for a longer period or bruise and sensitivity at the application site.

The treatment is intended for adult patients with moderate to the severe sagging chin. The Belkyra solution thus offers the possibility of individual treatment that is completely safe and proven to model and contour the chin area. The safety of the solution is very strict due to FDA certification and extensive studies performed on thousands of patients.

The resulting effect

The result of treatment with Belkyra is a contoured chin that holds the lower jaw line, including shrunk skin.
