Belkyra is a breakthrough injectable treatment for the dreaded double chin. American Society for Dermatologic Surgery 2015 consumer survey reported 67% of people reported being bothered by fullness under the chin. Submental fat or double chin impacts both genders and develops with aging, genetic predisposition and weight changes. Belkyra is injected under the chin and destroys fat cells with deoxycholic acid, a substance that is also made in the body. Once the cells are destroyed, the body naturally flushes them out. It is important to understand that Belkyra permanently dissolves the fat cells. It is important to maintain a healthier lifestyle and healthy weight to prevent the fat cells to expand and reform fullness in the chin.

Most commonly reported side effects include slight burning upon injection, some bruising, and swelling. These are temporary and should resolve fairly fast. It is important to understand that this medication will not help with skin tightening.
