Study summary

The goal of this prospective study is to analyze volumetric changes in the lower face after hyaluronic acid filler injections over 90 days.

The primary aim of the study is to quantify volume change of the lower face rea over time after injection of filler. The secondary aim is to collect patient related outcomes (PROs) via FACE-Q.

Participants will receive hyaluronic acid filler injections (Restylane Lyft(for contouring of the chin. Each patient will receive FDA approved dosages of filler to the lower face region to treat chin regression or chin contouring, as per FDA approved indications.

Prior to injections patients will be imaged with 3-dimensional photogrammetry. Subjects will return post-injection in 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 moths for re-imaging.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age 22-55
  • Patients interested in chin profile enhancement.
  • Participants must sign the form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior filler for facial contouring
  • Filler injection within the past 12 months or during duration of study
  • Prior facial cosmetic surgery (i.e.. facelift)
  • Prior facial trauma (i.e.. orbital fracture)
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding at the time of injection (initial visit)
  • Planned dental work within next 2 weeks
  • The following : patients with known or severe allergies manifested by a history of anaphylaxis or history or presence of multiple severe allergies, gram-positive bacterial protein allergies, lidocaine allergies or other local anesthetics of the amide type
  • Patients with known bleeding disorders
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

    Drug: HA Filler

Interventions

  • DrugHA Filler

    Patients will receive FDA approved dosages of filler to the lower face region to treat chin regression or contour the chin, as per FDA approved indications. Patients are limited to the maximum recommended injected dose per patient for the initial and re-treatment (touch-up) injections of 4 mL. The injected volume per injection site should not exceed 2mL, the maximum volume studied and established by the manufacturer. Prior to injections, patients will be imaged with 3-dimensional photogrammetry and take a validated survey questionnaire (FACE-Q). Subjects will return post-injection in 2 weeks, 1 month, and 3 months for re-imaging and FACE-Q survey completion.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Volume change of the lower face area at 90 days post-intervention

    3D-images will be collected to determine change in volume from baseline (pre-intervention) to post-intervention (90 days)

    Time frame: 90 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Patient Reported Outcomes

    Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) will be assessed using FACE-Q questionnaires (FACE-Q), an aesthetics validated survey questionnaire, including appearance, satisfaction, psychological well-being, and treatment outcome domains. FACE-Q scores are transformed to a standardized scale ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores generally indicating more favorable patient-reported outcomes within the measured domain.

    Time frame: 90 days

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 20, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
