The Belkyra™ formula is made up of deoxycholic acid, which helps your body destroy and eliminate fat cells. Once it is injected into subcutaneous fat (under the chin), the deoxycholic acid disrupts the cell membrane of the fat cells. This process releases the fat into the surrounding space where it is then broken down safely and effectively by your body over the next 28 days. Treatments occur every 4-6 weeks and after just 2 to 4 treatments most people find a dramatic improvement in their submental fullness. It may, however, take up to 6 sessions to achieve ideal results in some.
Serving patients from all over Toronto, including Vaughan and Markham, Dr. Plant plans a treatment process that will best address your cosmetic concerns. During your session, Dr. Plant injects Belkyra™ into several areas under your chin to eliminate the fat cells of your unwanted double chin and provide a more contoured jawline. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they cannot accumulate fat again.
Patients can expect a slight pinch when injected with Belkyra™. Dr. Plant may recommend using ice to numb the treatment area. If you are worried about discomfort, please discuss this with Dr. Plant in advance. After your injections, there may be some bruising and swelling that will last a few days.
