BELKYRA

aesthetic medicine




WHAT IS BELKYRA
THE PROCEDURE
RECOVERY TIME

Belkyra, known in the United States as Kybella, is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid—a substance naturally found in the body that helps break down fat. When injected directly into the subcutaneous fat under the chin, Belkyra destroys fat cells, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them. This process not only reduces the double chin but also enhances the contour of the jawline.
During the session, the doctor will apply a transparent grid to the chin as a guide for injection. The treatment takes only a few minutes and is generally well tolerated. Patients may experience slight temporary discomfort, but the procedure is made more comfortable with the use of topical or local anesthetics.
After the treatment, it’s normal to experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness in the treated area, which typically resolves within a few days. It is recommended to schedule the session at the end of the workweek to allow any swelling to subside. Most patients require between two and four sessions to achieve optimal results, with one-month intervals between treatments.

ADVANTAGES OF BELKYRA TREATMENT

Non-Invasive: Unlike liposuction, Belkyra requires no incisions, reducing both recovery time and surgical risks.

Natural Results: Belkyra provides a gradual and natural enhancement of the chin contour.

Minimal Downtime: Patients can return to daily activities immediately after treatment.

Safety: Belkyra is approved by the Italian Ministry of Health and the U.S. FDA, ensuring a high safety profile.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR BELKYRA

The treatment is particularly suited for adult men and women who wish to reduce a double chin not linked to excess weight. It is especially effective for those with submental fullness due to genetic or hormonal factors, and who seek a non-surgical option to improve their facial profile.

SPECIALIST CONSULTATION

Before proceeding, a consultation with Dr. Raffaele Castaldo is essential to assess the patient’s specific case and discuss realistic expectations.
