Belkyra®
Refine Your Profile. Reduce Submental Fullness. Define Your Jawline.
Belkyra® is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fat—commonly known as a double chin. It works by breaking down fat cells beneath the chin for a slimmer, more sculpted profile over time.
At Meadowlark Surgical Centre & Cosmetic Clinic, our experienced Cosmetic Nurse Injectors offer Belkyra® as part of a fully customized plan that may also include jawline dermal fillers, collagen-boosting biostimulators, or Sciton® laser tightening—ensuring a comprehensive and natural result tailored to your unique anatomy.
Targeted Contouring Without Surgery
-
Belkyra® may be right for you if you:
Have mild to moderate fullness under the chin that doesn’t improve with diet or exercise
Are bothered by a “double chin” appearance in photos or profile
Want a non-surgical option for jawline contouring
Prefer gradual improvement with little to no downtime
Are at or near your ideal weight
-
Belkyra® contains deoxycholic acid—a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down dietary fat. When injected into the submental area:
It destroys targeted fat cells, which are then eliminated naturally by the body
Injections are completed in under 30 minutes
A series of 2–4 treatments is typically recommended for optimal contouring
Our injectors use mapping techniques to ensure even, symmetrical improvement and will space treatments at least 4–6 weeks apart for safety and effectiveness.
-
While Belkyra® works beneath the skin, overall results can be enhanced through skin-tightening treatments and supportive care. Our team may recommend:
Sciton SkinTyte™ or BBL® for post-treatment firmness and skin tone
Dermal fillers or biostimulators to define the chin or jawline contour
Medical-grade skincare to support hydration and elasticity
This holistic approach ensures your outcome is balanced, elegant, and in harmony with the rest of your features.
-
Belkyra® requires minimal downtime, but some swelling and tenderness are common in the days following each session.
Swelling typically peaks within 48 hours and may last 5–10 days
Gradual fat reduction becomes visible over 4–6 weeks
Results are long-lasting once desired contour is achieved
Touch-up sessions may be considered depending on aesthetic goals
Our team will provide post-care instructions and check-in as needed to support your recovery.

What to Know Before Your Belkyra® Treatment
Belkyra® is a clinically proven, non-surgical treatment for submental fat—but like all injectable procedures, it comes with specific considerations. Our experienced team ensures that every treatment is safe, informed, and tailored to your unique profile.
Common, Temporary Reactions:
Swelling and tenderness at injection sites (most noticeable 1–3 days post-treatment)
Redness, bruising, or firmness under the chin
Mild numbness or tingling (typically resolves within a few weeks)
Temporary difficulty swallowing or tight sensation in the neck area (less common)
These effects are expected and will be discussed during your consultation and post-care process.
Less Common but Important Risks:
Nerve injury leading to temporary facial weakness or uneven smile (rare; generally resolves)
Small, firm nodules or areas of hardness under the skin
Infection or skin ulceration (extremely rare with proper technique and hygiene)
Who Should Avoid or Delay Treatment:
Individuals with active skin infections in the treatment area
Patients with prior neck surgery or significant neck laxity (evaluation needed)
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals
Those with unrealistic expectations for non-surgical results
