Kybella, Belkyra or injection lipolysis for double chin? (photo)

Thank you for your question. Belkyra and Kybella are the same medication. Belkyra is the name used in Canada and Kybella is used in the U.S. The medication contains deoxycholic acid, which destroys the fat cells under the chin so the body can flush them out through the lymphatic system. The procedure takes some time to work and patients usually need more than one session. However, the results are considered permanent. 
Liposuction under the chin is another choice for submental fat. This procedure uses tiny tubes called cannulas, which are inserted into the treatment area using small incisions. The tubes gently suction away the fat, producing a full result in a single session. I use the Awake lipo technique, which can be performed using local anesthesia and only requires a few days of recovery. 
No matter which treatment you choose, make sure you are working with an experienced, board-certified dermatologist who can ensure your procedure is both safe and successful for you. 

Liposuction is more effective and safer than either of the products you mention. There is five times the risk of temporary paralysis with these agents because the bile acid used in them dissolves the fat that insulates the nerves in addition to the fat under the chin. The paralysis rate is 5% for the injectables vs 1% for liposuction. These fat dissolving injections usually take more than one treatment, while liposuction usually works the first time. The recovery is about the same.

I'm not a big fan of Kybella though it seems to work in the right patient. Submental liposuction requires only one treatment with almost instantaneous results. In addition, the jawline can be contoured to provide a well-defined and youthful jawline!
