Belkyra
An alternative to liposuction of the chin and neck
A double chin is a very common complaint, and until recently, was a difficult problem to address without surgery. Patients with this problem are often a normal or healthy weight. Genetics and aging are often the culprits leading the appearance of the double chin.
Belkyra offers an alternative to liposuction of the chin and neck. Belkyra is a medication given as an injection by one of our cosmetic dermatologists that reduces or eliminates the fat cells in the treatment area. Fat cells that are eliminated from treatment are eliminated permanently and do not grow back.
