Belkyra® Fat-Dissolving TreatmentA non-surgical option for fullness beneath the chin.

Belkyra costs $350 CAD per session, or $900 CAD for a package of three sessions. The package saves $150 compared with paying for three sessions individually. At our North Vancouver and Chilliwack clinics, we assess your candidacy and discuss the recommended number and timing of sessions before treatment.

Belkyra is a prescription deoxycholic acid injection for selected adults with moderate-to-severe fullness caused by fat beneath the chin (submental fat). When injected into this area, deoxycholic acid disrupts fat-cell membranes. The resulting changes develop gradually, and your response varies.

The number of Belkyra sessions depends on your anatomy and response to treatment. If we recommend another session, it must be at least one month after the previous one; up to six sessions may be considered. We review your progress and discuss each next step with you.

There is no single recovery timeline. Swelling beneath the chin is common and may be noticeable; bruising, tenderness, numbness, warmth, and firmness can also occur. The severity and duration vary, so plan for possible swelling and ask us what to expect based on your treatment plan.

Belkyra® results develop gradually as the body clears damaged fat cells from the treated area. Some patients notice improvement within several weeks, while more noticeable changes may take two to three months or longer. Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on the amount of submental fat and individual response.

Belkyra damages fat cells in the treated area, but we cannot promise that your appearance will remain unchanged permanently. Aging, weight changes, and other factors can affect your chin and neck profile over time. We discuss realistic expectations with you during your assessment.

We may use Clarius ultrasound during your assessment to help visualize tissue depth and anatomy beneath your chin. Ultrasound can inform treatment planning, but it does not eliminate risks or replace a clinical assessment and careful injection technique. We explain which precautions apply to you before treatment.

No. Belkyra treats fullness associated with submental fat; it does not tighten loose or sagging skin. If skin laxity is your main concern, we can assess the area and discuss whether another option may better match your goals.

You may feel stinging, warmth, or aching during the injections, followed by tenderness or pain that can last for several days. We may use ice, cooling, or local anaesthetic to support your comfort. Your experience can vary.

Belkyra is a series of injections into the fat beneath your chin; under-chin liposuction is a surgical procedure. They differ in how treatment is performed, candidacy, risks, and recovery. We can assess your concern and explain which options may be appropriate for you.
