Brief summary

This is a prospective clinical study to demonstrate a reduction in jowling and laxity of the jawline that can be achieved following facial volume enhancement using JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC (0.3% w/w lidocaine). The secondary measure will be if this can be achieved with Jawline injection only, or if a superior result can be obtained with both cheek and jowl injection.

Detailed description

This study is proposed to evaluate the best protocol for achieving improvement in the sagging jawline. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC will be injected in each of 16 women with sagging of grades 1-3 using a published jawline evaluation scale. Patients will be randomized into 1:1 into 2 groups: Patient Group 1: JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC 1-2 syringes (each syringe is 1 cc) will be injected bilaterally into the lateral jawline and inferior cheek area (preauricular area) (the latter area will be added if necessary to achieve visual improvement in jowl attenuation). Total syringes used per person will have a range of 1-2) Patient Group 2: JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC 1-3 syringes (each syringe is 1 cc) will be injected bilaterally into the lateral cheek (zygomatic) area plus JUVÉDERM VOLUMA™ XC 1-2 syringes (each syringe is 1 cc) will be injected into the lateral jawline and inferior cheek area (preauricular area) (the latter area will be added if necessary to achieve visual improvement in jowl attenuation). Total syringes used per person will have a range of 2-5) High-resolution photographs from multiple angles will be taken in identical lighting and position with the VISIA CR (clinical research) and with the Fotofinder at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, and 12 or 16 weeks. Additional real-time video telemedicine visits will take place at 6 months and 12 months. In addition, a 72-hour safety phone call will be completed with the subject after each injection session. All visit timing will be based on the last injection session. One blinded dermatologist and one unblinded dermatologist will rate the patient's severity of jowling based on the Jawline Rating Scale (JRS) (1) at the 4-week, 8-week, and either 12 or 16-week visits. The patient will also rate their jowling based on the JRS as well as their satisfaction with the procedure.

Secondary

Subject Jawline Rating Scale (JRS) Assessment on Scale of 0 to 4 for Group 1 (Jawline Injections) Versus Group 2 (Jawline and Lateral Zygomatic Cheek Area Injections) at 4 Weeks After Last Injection.

One of the secondary outcomes is a statistically significant difference of the Jawline Rating Scale (JRS) Assessment (on a scale of 0 to 4) when comparing group 1 (Jawline Injections) and group 2 (Jawline and Lateral Zygomatic Cheek Area Injections) 4 weeks from the last injection (whether initial or touch-up) based on subjects' ratings. (A lower number will mean a better outcome)

Time frame: From Baseline until 4 weeks after last injection

Secondary

Unblinded Physician Jawline Rating Scale (JRS) Assessment on Scale of 0 to 4 at Baseline Versus 4 Weeks After Last Injection.

One of the secondary outcomes is a reduction of 1 or more points of the Jawline Rating Scale (JRS) Assessment (on a scale of 0 to 4) at baseline versus that at 4 weeks from the last injection (whether initial or touch-up) based on one unblinded dermatologist rating. (A lower number will mean a better outcome). To clarify the Time Point 4 Weeks from last injection it means 8 to 12 weeks after baseline as subjects were eligible for treatment 4 weeks after baseline and possible retreatment 8 weeks after baseline. The study wanted to capture results 4 weeks after last injection. Scale Range Description 0 = No sagging 1. = Mild sagging 2. = Moderate sagging 3. = Severe sagging 4. = Very Severe sagging

Time frame: Baseline to 4 weeks after last injection.

Population: Intent to treat population (participants assigned to jawline injections versus both jawline and lateral (zygomatic) cheek area injections).
