Kybella Treatment Near You for a More Defined Jawline
A fuller area beneath the chin can affect the way your lower face and jawline appear, even when the rest of your body is lean. Progressive Dental Arts offers Kybella treatment as a non-surgical option for adults who want to address excess fat beneath the chin. Serving Newark, Christiana, and Pike Creek, DE, the practice can evaluate whether Kybella is appropriate for your anatomy and cosmetic goals.
What Kybella Treatment Does
Kybella is an injectable treatment containing deoxycholic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and helps break down dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, it works locally to destroy fat cells. The body then gradually processes the treated cells.
Kybella is designed specifically for submental fat, commonly described as a “double chin.” It is not intended to remove loose skin or dramatically reshape the entire jawline. The amount of treatment needed varies depending on the amount and distribution of fat, the treatment area, and your desired outcome.
Treatment typically involves a series of injections beneath the chin rather than one large procedure. More than one treatment session may be recommended, with time between sessions to allow swelling to subside and the treated area to respond.Before treatment, the area beneath your chin is evaluated to determine whether excess fat is the primary concern. If skin laxity or another facial characteristic contributes more significantly to the appearance of fullness, a different approach may be more appropriate.

Why Choose Kybella Treatment?
Kybella can be an option for people who want to reduce localized fat beneath the chin without undergoing liposuction or another surgical procedure. Because the treatment targets fat cells in a specific area, it can be considered when the concern is primarily submental fullness.Unlike temporary methods that simply compress or camouflage the area, Kybella works by destroying treated fat cells. However, results develop gradually rather than immediately, and the outcome varies from person to person.
Dr. Rodney Kryzhanovskiy, D.M.D. and Dr. Lavinia Wu, D.M.D. can evaluate your treatment area, discuss your goals, and determine whether Kybella is a reasonable option for you.

Kybella Treatment FAQs
Kybella is an injectable prescription treatment containing deoxycholic acid. It is used to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat beneath the chin in appropriate adults.
The number of sessions varies. Your treatment plan depends on the amount of submental fat, your anatomy, and how the area responds between treatments.
Kybella does not produce an immediate change. The body gradually processes the treated fat cells, so visible improvement develops over time.
Kybella targets fat beneath the chin; it does not directly remove loose skin. If skin laxity is a major contributor to your concern, your provider can discuss whether another treatment may be more appropriate.
No. Kybella is administered through injections and does not involve surgical incisions or surgical fat removal.
Swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, or numbness can occur after treatment. Your provider will explain the expected recovery and when to contact the practice about symptoms that require attention.
