- Conditions
- Ptosis of the Neck, Mid-face and/or Jowl
- Interventions
- Device: NUVANCE Facial Rejuvenation System
- Registration Number
- NCT01100190
- Lead Sponsor
- Ethicon, Inc.
- Brief Summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical tolerability of the NUVANCE™ Facial Rejuvenation System for correcting neck, mid-face and/or jowl ptosis.
- Detailed Description
This is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm study. The primary tolerability endpoint will be evaluated up to 30-days post-operatively. Secondary endpoints will be evaluated at 6-months. Extended follow-up will be conducted at 12-months, 24-months, and 36-months.
