Belkyra & Deoxycholic Acid

Belkyra® & Deoxycholic Acid Treatments in Vancouver

Reduce Stubborn Fat Without Surgery

Some areas of fat just don’t seem to go away, no matter how active you are or how well you eat. For many people, these stubborn pockets can sit under the chin, around the abdomen, along the flanks, or on the thighs. At Pacific Plastic Surgery Group, we offer Belkyra® and Deoxycholic Acid treatments to help reduce unwanted fat and create smoother, more defined contours without surgery or downtime.

Every patient is different, which is why we take the time to understand your concerns and goals before recommending treatment. Our approach is always personalized, natural, and focused on helping you look like the best version of yourself.

What is Deoxycholic Acid?

Deoxycholic Acid (DCA) is a naturally occurring molecule that your body already produces to help break down and absorb fat. When injected into targeted areas, it works by breaking down fat cells, which are then naturally removed by the body over time.

Once these fat cells are eliminated, they cannot store fat again. This makes Deoxycholic Acid an effective option for treating small, stubborn areas of fat that have been resistant to diet and exercise.

Belkyra® is the Health Canada approved form of Deoxycholic Acid used to treat fullness under the chin, commonly known as a double chin.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

While Belkyra® is best known for treating under chin fullness, Deoxycholic Acid can also be used to improve contour in other areas of the body.

Double Chin

One of the most popular treatment areas. Belkyra® can help reduce fullness beneath the chin and improve jawline definition, creating a slimmer and more sculpted profile.

Abdomen

Small pockets of abdominal fat can be difficult to lose, even with regular exercise. Deoxycholic Acid can help reduce localized fullness and improve contour.

Flanks

Often referred to as love handles, the flanks can be a frustrating area for both men and women. Treatment can help create a more streamlined waistline.

Thighs

Whether it’s the inner or outer thighs, Deoxycholic Acid may help reduce stubborn fat and improve overall leg contour.

Banana Rolls

Banana rolls are the small pockets of fat located just beneath the buttocks. Treating this area can create a smoother transition between the buttocks and upper thighs.

How Does Treatment Work?

Treatment involves a series of small injections placed directly into the area being treated. The procedure is relatively quick and can usually be completed during a regular office visit.

Over the following weeks, your body gradually clears away the treated fat cells. Because the process happens slowly, results tend to look natural and improve over time.

Most patients require a series of treatments to achieve their desired result. The exact number will depend on the area being treated and the amount of fat present.

What Can I Expect After Treatment?

Some swelling is expected and is actually a sign that the treatment is working. Depending on the area treated, swelling may last several days or even a few weeks.

You may also experience:

• Tenderness
• Redness
• Bruising
• Firmness in the treatment area

Most patients return to their normal daily activities shortly after treatment.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Deoxycholic Acid works best for patients who are close to their ideal weight but have small pockets of stubborn fat they would like to improve.

This treatment is designed for body contouring, not weight loss. During your consultation, we will assess your concerns and determine whether Deoxycholic Acid or another treatment option would provide the best result.
