A defined jawline changes everything.
When fullness sits beneath the chin, it softens the profile, blurs facial angles, and can make you look heavier even when you’re not. Many patients tell us the same thing:
“I’m fit. I eat well. But this area won’t budge.”
That’s because submental fullness is often genetic. And no amount of crunches will fix it.
This is where Belkyra becomes a powerful, non-surgical solution.
Double chin treatment isn’t about drastic change. It’s about restoring structure, balance, and definition in a way that looks completely natural.
At Martin’s Rejuvenation Centre, patients receive detailed assessments and customized treatment plans tailored to their anatomy. If under-chin fullness is affecting your confidence, you can book a consultation to explore your options.
Why Do I Have A Double Chin If I am Not Overweight
Not all fullness under the chin is caused by weight gain and understanding the cause determines the correct treatment:
- Genetic
- Natural fat distribution
- Aging
- Loss of jawline definition
- Skin laxity
- Or a combination of these factors
Even very lean patients can struggle with this area.
The key is understanding whether the concern is localized fat deposits, loose skin, or a combination of both. Effective double chin removal starts with identifying which factor is dominant. Fat requires reduction while loose skin requires tightening. Treating the wrong issue leads to disappointing results. Proper diagnosis with an experienced provider is everything.
Submental Fat Vs. Skin Laxity
Fat beneath the chin creates volume. Skin laxity creates sagging. They look similar but behave differently.
Facial balance matters. Chin projection, jawline definition, and neck angle all influence results.
Experienced medical providers will evaluate skin elasticity and jawline structure before recommending a plan. In some cases, combining fat reduction with Thermage skin tightening technologies enhances overall contour. That attention to detail ensures patients are matched with the right solution — not simply the most popular one.
Why Diet And Exercise Often Do Not Eliminate A Double Chin
Submental fat is genetically resistant. This is why double chin removal is considered contouring, not weight loss. The goal is refinement, and facial balancing not scale reduction.
What Is Belkyra And How Does It Work
Belkyra is a Health Canada–approved injectable made of synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally found in your body that helps break down dietary fat.
When carefully injected beneath the chin, Belkyra:
- Disrupts fat cell membranes
- Triggers an inflammatory response
Allows your body to metabolize and clear the destroyed fat cells. Fat cells destroyed during treatment do not regenerate, once eliminated these cells are permanently gone. This permanence is what makes Belkyra an effective treatment for contour refinement.
Why Patients Choose Belkyra Over Surgery
Liposuction removes fat immediately but requires surgery, anaesthesia and downtime.
Belkyra offers:
- No incisions
- No general anesthesia
- Minimal disruption to daily life
- Gradual, natural-looking improvement
You’ll experience swelling, but most patients return to routine activities quickly. These reactions are normal and expected. They indicate the fat cells are breaking down.
The result? A refined jawline without looking like you “had work done.”
What To Expect During Treatment
Every chin is different. That’s why treatment always begins with a detailed facial assessment.
At Martin’s Rejuvenation Centre, we evaluate:
- Chin projection
- Jawline definition
- Neck angle
- Skin elasticity
- Fat distribution
Treatment is carefully mapped using a grid system to ensure even, symmetrical fat reduction. Precision placement is critical especially around important anatomical structures like the marginal mandibular nerve.
Most patients require 2–4 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart. Gradual improvement is intentional and each session builds on the previous one. This prevents sudden, unnatural change and allows your features to refine progressively. So everyone will notice, but no one will know!
Swelling & Recovery; What's Normal
Swelling is expected and often dramatic for the first 24–48 hours.
This is not a complication, it is part of the fat breakdown process.
You may also experience:
- Tenderness
- Firmness
- Mild bruising
- Temporary numbness
These reactions subside as the body clears the treated fat cells. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and ongoing support throughout your treatment journey.
Belkyra Results
Google searches for Belkyra before and after photos are common for a reason. Patients want realistic expectations.
Visible contour changes begin several weeks after the first session. And more significant definition appears after completing the recommended treatment plan. Results continue to refine as swelling resolves.
When You Will Start Seeing Visible Changes
Subtle changes can appear within three to four weeks. Final contour typically becomes evident eight to twelve weeks after the last session.
Patience is key. Gradual refinement produces a natural-looking definition.
How Many Treatments Are Typically Needed
Moderate fullness often requires three sessions. Smaller areas may respond in two.
Your customized plan ensures the right number of treatments for you.
Are Results Permanent?
Yes.
The fat cells destroyed during treatment do not regenerate.
Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve results long term, but the eliminated cells are permanently gone.
Patients enjoy lasting jawline refinement after completing their series.
Safety Matters: Why Injector Experience Is Critical
Belkyra is powerful — and technique matters.
Improper depth or placement increases the risk of complications, including temporary nerve weakness affecting the lower lip.
At Martin’s Rejuvenation Centre, treatments are performed in a medical environment with providers experienced in advanced injectables and facial anatomy supervised by a medical director. .
We do not chase trends. We prioritize safety, balance, and long-term outcomes.
Is Belkyra Right For You?
Belkyra is ideal for patients with:
- Localized fat beneath the chin
- Good skin elasticity
- Realistic expectations
- A desire to avoid surgery
If skin laxity is also present, combining fat reduction with skin tightening technologies may enhance results.
This is why a thorough consultation is essential, for safety and results. The right treatment plan is built around your anatomy and not a one-size-fits-all solution.
