Non-Surgical Double Chin Reduction

What Are the Benefits of a Non-Surgical Double Chin Reduction?

Even with a consistent and effective healthy diet and exercise, some areas of the body seem never to lose stubborn fat, the chin being one of them. With the help of Kybella/Belkyra, you can zap the fat in your double chin once and for all, leaving you with a smooth and shapely neckline.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the procedure, Kybella/Belkyra is a nonsurgical way to improve the appearance of the neck. It involves injecting a formulation of deoxycholic acid, which helps the fat cells break down and ultimately destroy them, leaving your neck looking as fit as the rest of your body.

Liposuction was the most common way to remove fat from this area in the past, but Kybella/Belkyra is quickly becoming a popular alternative.

• Fast Treatment: Lose your double chin over your lunch break. It’s close; a session typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. During this time, you’ll meet with your Toronto plastic surgeon, who will administer the injection quickly and easily. The less time you spend in the office, the more time you get to spend enjoying your healthy lifestyle.
• Quick Results: During your initial consultation, you’ll find out how many treatments you’ll need to achieve the desired results. Depending on how many sessions you undergo, you’ll likely see results within four to six weeks, usually after two to four treatments. Fast results make it appealing to many patients because they can see the treatments happening right before their eyes.
• Permanent Results: The molecules in Kybella/Belkyra help your body destroy fat cells. Once a fat cell is destroyed, it is gone for good, meaning the fat cells in your chin won’t be coming back. Permanent results make this an appealing procedure for many people to undergo because they don’t have to worry about regular follow-ups and maintenance to keep their chin looking its best.
• Minimally Invasive: Because it is simply an injection that is administered during an outpatient procedure, it is a procedure that is not considered invasive. You’ll be in and out before you even know it.
• Look Younger: The procedure is simple and fast-acting, and a slender and sleek chin will boost your confidence. The neck can add years to your age, so keeping it thin will make you look and feel younger.

• Realistic expectations and an understanding that the procedure requires several treatments for optimal results.

You may expect a small amount of bruising. Swelling is typical with some patients experiencing a significant amount of swelling. Strenuous activity should be avoided for 24 hours to minimize bruising, but most other normal activities can be continued.
