  • Subjects with body mass index of <18.5 or ≥30
  • Acute inflammatory process or active infection at the injection site (e.g., acne, eczema, streptococcus infections), or history of chronic or recurrent infection or inflammation with the potential to interfere with the study results or increase the risk of AEs.
  • Prior surgery, including midfacial plastic surgery, or has a permanent implant or graft in the midfacial region that could interfere with effectiveness assessments.
