Double chins are a common physical feature that many people experience at some point in their lives. Their presence can have a significant effect on an individual’s self-image. For some, a double chin can hurt their confidence and cause them to feel insecure about their appearance. Luckily, there are non-surgical double chin removal options for those who wish to remove their double chin safely and effectively.

​Belkyra® is a popular choice for effective double chin removal because it’s a non-surgical injectable solution that’s designed to target fullness under the chin. Rather than choosing a more invasive option, Belkyra® can tackle your chin insecurities through a straightforward injection method.

​While double chins are often associated with being overweight, they can also be caused by other factors:

• Age. Skin loses its elasticity as we age, and this skin may contribute to a double chin.
• Diet. Diet and weight often contribute to the appearance of double chins. Eating a diet high in calories may lead to weight gain and increased fullness in the face, including under the chin. Regardless of why your double chin is present or the treatment you choose, it’s advised to eat healthily and stay active to maintain a healthy weight. A healthy lifestyle can lessen the appearance of your chin fullness while also reducing the chances of diabetes, heart disease and other medical conditions.
• Genetics. Those with a family history of lowered skin elasticity or double chins are more likely to develop double chins themselves, regardless of weight.
• Posture. Poor posture may weaken the chin, possibly contributing to a double chin and lessened skin elasticity.

Belkyra® is an injectable treatment that is highly regarded for effectively contouring chins, all without surgery. This treatment uses Deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance found in the body that breaks down and absorbs fat cells.

Belkyra® injections destroy fat cells under the chin, and the fat cells are then metabolised by the body to permanently reduce the fullness under the chin.

This straightforward yet highly effective treatment is popular for many reasons:

• Long-Lasting Results. Belkyra® provides patients with long-lasting results. Once the fat cells are destroyed under the chin, they are gone permanently, making it much easier to maintain a slimmer, contoured look.
• Non-Invasive. Belkyra® is an injectable option, so you won’t need any incisions or inpatient care.
• Individually-Tailored Treatments. Everyone’s situations and goals are different, so before any injections are made, you will undergo a consultation to determine the right treatment plan for you. Dr Mark Morunga, our trusted medical director, will carry out a facial assessment to determine how many sessions you need and how the Belkyra® should be administered.
• Minimal Downtime. Most patients can resume standard activities soon after treatment, making Belkyra® a convenient option for any kind of New Zealander.
• Enhanced Contour. The effectiveness of Belkyra® means you can enjoy an enhanced facial appearance, shaping your chin in a way that better suits your goals. This can lead to boosted confidence and improved happiness.

What should you expect if you choose Belkyra® as your double chin removal option?

• Initial Consultation. The process starts with an initial consultation, where you will discuss your concerns about your chin and your overall goals with us.
• We Create Your Personalised Treatment Plan. Your situation will be assessed, and we will create an individualised plan based on your unique circumstances and your desired results. Your sessions will need to be placed at least four weeks apart, and most patients see improvement after 2-4 sessions.
• Injections Are Administered. During your sessions, the injection areas under your chin will be accurately marked, and Belkyra® will be precisely injected into target spots. This process is relatively quick, with most sessions only taking half an hour or so. Because these are simple injections, most patients report only mild discomfort.
• Aftercare. Patients might experience temporary swelling, bruising or numbness, but these will generally go away within a week, however  numbness can last some months. We will advise you on what activities to avoid post-treatment. This may include avoiding strenuous exercise for the first 24-48 hours after your treatment and avoiding high heat exposure.
