What happens to the double chin fat once Belkyra Injectable works?
The Belkrya Injectable disrupts the cell membrane of the fat cells that cause the double chin. When the cell membrane of the fat cell is disrupted, the contents of the fat cell, the glycerol and free fatty acids are leaked into the surrounding subcutaneous space. The contents that are leaked in the interstitial space are harmless and the body has a tremendous capacity to naturally remove free fatty acids and glycerol quite safely and effectively. The contents of the fat cell that are released are taken back to the liver for natural processing or through the kidney for elimination. There is no increased risk for atherosclerotic disease or heart disease from the small amounts of adipose cells and fat cells that are broken down using Belkyra Injectable.
Is there any downtime after Belkrya Injectable?

There are no specific post-operative activities, care or special skin care needs required for Edmonton Belkyra Injectable patients. A small amount of swelling from the injection may persist for 48-72 hours, but generally resolves over several days. Quite often the swelling is not noticeable to others; it is camouflaged within your double chin. There may be small amounts of bruising, although this is uncommon in the small injection sites and this can be camouflaged with powder or makeup.
How long does it take for the Belkyra Injectable to work?
Every patient is different. There are different amounts of subcutaneous fat in a double chin and the more fat present the more Belkyra Injectable will be required. In general, between two and often several injections may be required to get adequate double chin reduction. The small injections are separated by a month apart and modest amounts of submental fat can be removed in several Belkyra injections. Large amounts of subcutaneous fat, double, triple or quadruple chins may take more Belkyra Injectable and Kybella injectable procedures. After each injection, predictable amounts of fat cells exposed to the chemical are dissolved and taken way gently and effectively and metabolized normally by the body, thus reduction the size of a double chin.
