Inclusion criteria

* Has Moderate or Severe loss of jawline definition as determined by the EI using the ALJDs (Grade 2 or 3 on the ALJDS) on both sides. The grade does not have to be the same on both sides, but must be Grade 2 or 3 * Treating Investigator (TI) considers the subject's jaw amenable to an improvement of at least 1 grade on the scale for the jawline definition * Written Informed Consent (IC) has been obtained

Exclusion criteria

* Has ever received permanent facial implants (eg, polymethylmethacrylate, silicone, polytetrafluoroethylene) anywhere in the face or neck, or is planning to be implanted with any of these products during the study * Has ever undergone fat injections in the malar, chin or jawline area or is planning to undergo this procedure during the study * Has undergone semipermanent dermal filler treatment (eg, calcium hydroxyapatite, poly-L-lactic acid) below the subnasale within 36 months before enrollment or is planning to undergo such treatment during the study * Has received deoxycholic acid treatment in the submental region in the last 6 months * Has active autoimmune disease * Females who are pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy during the course of the study

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants Who Note Improved or Much Improved in Jawline Area as Assessed by the Evaluating Investigator Using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS)Month 6The Evaluating Investigator (EI) will assess the aesthetic improvement of the jawline area using the GAIS 5-point scale where: 2=much improved, 1=improved, 0=no change, -1=worse and -2=much worse. The percentage of participants who the Evaluating Investigator assesses as 2=much improved or 1=improved will be reported.
Percentage of Participants Who Note Improved or Much Improved in Jawline Area as Assessed by the Participant Using the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS)Month 6The participant will assess the aesthetic improvement of the jawline area using the GAIS 5-point scale where: 2=much improved, 1=improved, 0=no change, -1=worse and -2=much worse. The percentage of participants who assess themselves as 2=much improved or 1=improved will be reported.
Change From Baseline in Overall Score for FACE-Q™ Satisfaction With Lower Face and Jawline ScoreBaseline to Month 6The subject will assess satisfaction using the 5 questions on the Satisfaction of Lower Face and Jawline scale of the FACE-Q™ questionnaire measured on a 4-point scale (1=Very Dissatisfied 2=Somewhat Dissatisfied, 3=Somewhat Satisfied, 4=Very Satisfied). The raw scale summed score will then be converted into a Rasch-transformed score from 0 (worst) to 100 (best)

Recruitment details

Study consists of 2 groups: Treatment and Control. The treatment group rec'd treatment Day 1 and was followed up to Month 12. At Month 12 they had the option to exit the study or receive maintenance treatment with an add'l 3 months of follow-up after treatment. The control group followed a 6-month no-treatment control period after which they had the option to exit the study or proceed to the post-control period where they receive treatment with 12 months of follow-up after their last treatment.

The ALJDS is an Investigator assessment of loss of jawline definition measured by a 5-point scale (0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, 3=Severe, 4=Extreme)

Time frame: Month 6

Population: All modified intent-to-treat (mITT) participants who have Month 6 assessment on the ALJDS scale on both sides of the jaw. Multiple imputation was performed on participants with missing data for the Month 6 assessment on the ALJDS on both sides of jaw
