What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Responder status of achieving ≥ 1-grade improvement from baseline on Mid Face Volume Deficit Scale (MFVDS) based on EI's (Evaluating Investigator) live assessment at Month 1

    The MFVDS is a validated, 6-point scale with grades of severe (5), significant (4), moderate (3), mild (2), minimal (1), and none (0)

    Time frame: 1 Month

Secondary outcomes

  1. Responder status of achieving improved or much improved on Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS) based on EI live assessment at Month 1 visit

    The GAIS is a validated, 5-point scale with grades of much improved (2), improved (1), no change (0), worse (-1), and much worse (-2)

    Time frame: 1 Month

  2. Responder status of achieving improved or much improved on GAIS based on participant assessment at Month 1 visit

    The GAIS is a validated, 5-point scale with grades of much improved (2), improved (1), no change (0), worse (-1), and much worse (-2)

    Time frame: 1 Month

  3. Change from baseline on FACE-Q Satisfaction with Cheeks specific questionnaire at Month 1 visit

    The FACE-Q is a validated 4-item Satisfaction with Cheeks questionnaire evaluated by the participant (very dissatisfied, somewhat dissatisfied, somewhat satisfied, very satisfied).

    Time frame: 1 Month
