Dr. Salvador is a specialist in Plastic Surgery in Alicante, Spain, an expert in the use of the innovative treatment called Belkyra, which allows reducing the double chin and maintaining facial harmony without the need for surgery.
This innovative procedure has been in operation in the United States for two years now under the name Kybella and has turned out to be a real revolution in the treatment of fat accumulated in the double chin. It is composed of deoxycholic acid, a very powerful lipolytic agent that destroys the fat where it is injected and is intended to replace conventional liposuction.
Use of Belkyra
The technique of use of the product is microinjection. Using an acetate template, the points to be treated on the jowls are marked and the product is injected by means of micropunctures. It may be uncomfortable for the patient, so the use of topical or local anesthetics is recommended. It can also produce an inflammatory effect in the first 24 or 48 hours that makes the use of an oral anti-inflammatory necessary.
The area to be treated is the submental area or double chin. In other areas of localized fat the product has not been completely tested and for the moment it is not recommended to use it until there are definitive results.
Necessary sessions
It will depend on the amount of fat accumulated in the double chin, although on average two sessions are recommended, which are performed in the consultation room and last about 20 minutes.
Results of the jowl reduction treatment without surgery
The results are very satisfactory, since with a first session patients are already able to experience very evident results. With the second session the disappearance of the fat, the retraction of the skin, the marking of the jaw line and the definition of the neck angle are truly extraordinary.
There is currently no other substance on the market that can achieve these same results, not even liposuction itself, as the skin retraction factor in surgery is a very important limiting factor.
