Having a pocket of unwanted fat beneath your chin can be frustrating. The additional fullness can make you look older or heavier than you are by blurring the definition between your chin and neck. Without downtime or surgery, you can say farewell to your double chin and bring more harmony to your appearance. Minimally invasive Belkyra treatments can improve your chin and jawline contours to add definition and boost your confidence.
Dr. Naz Baradaran uses her skills to help patients achieve their aesthetic goals through cosmetic medicine. When seeking any treatment to improve your looks and bolster your self-confidence, you owe it to yourself to partner with a provider who offers individualized care and attention.

Real Patient Results
If you’ve inherited your double chin from your family, you’ve likely noticed that submental fat doesn’t respond well to diet and exercise. You are probably also tired of trying to hide this excess fat with clever camera angles and strategic clothing choices. Minimally invasive Belkyra helps reduce submental fat to enhance the contours of the chin, jawline, and neck. This prescription medication will increase your confidence by shrinking your double chin.
Belkyra is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance that helps break down dietary fat. When injected into the fat cells under your chin, it goes to work destroying them. You’ll excrete the dead fat cells gradually. Most patients require a series of two to four Belkyra treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. As part of her commitment to patient safety, Dr. Naz uses ultrasound for precise placement of Belkyra.
Candidates for Belkyra in Vancouver include healthy men and women who are bothered by the appearance of a double chin. They are looking for safe, long-lasting solutions to reduce submental fat and enhance their facial profiles.
Dr. Naz recommends patients should:
If your submental fat is primarily hereditary – not the result of weight gain or obesity – you’re likely to see the best results. Belkyra injections also work better for patients with good skin elasticity, not excess, sagging skin.
For patients with a lot of fat beneath the chin, it will take longer to achieve your desired results. Belkyra also might not be your best option if prominent neck or jaw muscles lend themselves to the appearance of a double chin.
Dr. Naz will be honest with you if you are not a suitable candidate for Belkyra.

Real Patient Results
During your consultation, Dr. Naz will listen carefully to your concerns and give you realistic expectations for your experience.

At Art of Lines MD, we customize each Belkyra procedure to meet your needs, but here are some general steps you can expect.
Reduce the risk of bruising by avoiding any blood thinners such as aspirin, Advil, Motrin, vitamin E, and alcohol for one to two days before treatment.
Come to your appointment with a clean face and no makeup on.
When you arrive, our team will greet you and give you all the necessary documentation to complete. Dr. Naz will make sure you’re comfortable, then review the consultation forms and the treatment plan. She will answer any last questions and evaluate the treatment areas before beginning your Belkyra procedure.
Many people feel nervous about needles and injections, but Dr. Naz will use her friendly bedside manner to put you at ease. If you wish, you may request a topical or local anesthetic.
Typically, Belkyra treatments are quick and relatively painless. Most patients report only minimal discomfort, like a slight burning or stinging sensation. Your appointment will last approximately 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of treatment areas.
Typically, most patients can resume normal activities immediately. Your double chin will initially look more swollen and prominent, but that means Belkyra is working. Bruising and tenderness at the injection site can take up to a week to resolve, while swelling will peak at day two and last approximately two weeks. Ice can help minimize these effects.
You may also experience numbness or firm, lumpy skin that is sensitive to the touch.
After Belkyra treatment, here are some instructions to follow:
Belkyra works gradually, which is ideal for patients who prefer to be discreet about receiving cosmetic treatments. Most patients experience visible results within two to four treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart, which means it might take six months to a year to realize your ideal outcome.
Each treatment removes some fat from the double chin area, but retreatment and touch-up appointments are not necessary once you achieve your goal. Belkyra does not eliminate all fat cells; the remaining fat cells may grow larger if you gain weight. You’ll experience long-lasting Belkyra results by maintaining a healthy weight.
Without surgery or downtime, a more defined chin and jawline is waiting for you. Partner with one of Vancouver’s best Belkyra providers by calling (604) 973-1939 or complete our online form to schedule your consultation with Dr. Naz today.
