When it comes to cosmetic concerns of the face and body, many patients want a wide range of options to choose from. They often learn that dermatologists have many ways to address common issues without the need for cosmetic or reconstructive plastic surgery. Patients with a “double chin,” medically known as “submental fullness,” may feel self-conscious about socializing with others or hopping into that holiday photo with friends and families. However, thanks to continued advances in dermatology, patients can now reduce the appearance of the double chin with injectables such as Belkyra.

What is Belkyra?

Drs. Todd and Kent Remington of Remington Laser Dermatology Centre are dermatologists who describe Belkyra as a non-surgical approach to submental fullness. Instead of undergoing surgical procedures to liposuction excess fat and cut away the skin for a firm chin and jowl, patients can now seek treatment with simple injections done right in their office. Belkyra uses an acid called deoxycholic acid which is injected immediately into submental fat to reduce the amount of fat and the size of the fat cells gradually over time. The result? A naturally improved jaw and jowl line and reduced submental fullness.

How do I know if Belkyra is right for me?

The best candidates are those who have mild to moderate submental fullness and are seeking a nonsurgical option for treatment. While diet and exercise can often reduce fat elsewhere on the body, the fat underneath the chin is stubborn and difficult to target directly. Patients who want to reduce their submental fullness and are willing to commit to the necessary appointments to do so may be considered a patient that qualifies for treatment. This is discussing during the initial consultation appointment and patient evaluation with our team.

Men and women who have asymmetry or defects of the nose area may feel self-conscious about their overall appearance. A nose that is not in balance and harmony with the face may impact one’s look, and without a thought, most individuals think the only way to fix this is with plastic surgery. While a rhinoplasty procedure may help with more severe cases of an imperfect nose, it’s not the only way to make minor changes to the shape and size. With the use of dermal fillers, Drs. Todd and Kent Remington of Calgary, AB can provide nose reshaping without invasive procedures.

How is the nose reshaped with dermal fillers?

To best understand this treatment, patients should be aware as to how dermal fillers work. Dermal fillers are injectable gels that are administered through needles in specific areas. With the assistance of a skilled injector, patients can relax as this hyaluronic gel treatment is injected into the nose areas requiring improved contours and shaping.  Dermal fillers are safe, affordable, and reliable, and can be reinjected as needed over time to maintain the results..

Who is a candidate for nose reshaping with dermal fillers?

The best candidate for this treatment are men and women who are unhappy with the appearance of the nose. However, patients who have minor changes they would like to make can avoid surgery and instead consider the benefits of nose reshaping with dermal fillers. Dermal fillers can be used to help provide improved balance to the face’s symmetry, straighten out humps along the bridge of the nose, or fix the shape, size, and volume of the nose tip. All of these concerns may be addressed with dermal fillers, eliminating surgical interventions which can be costly, require extensive downtime, and which may result in visible scarring. Skip the surgery and instead, ask our team about nose reshaping with dermal fillers.
