Sodium Deoxycholate for Contouring of the Jowl: Our Preliminary Experience.

Patients were treated with or without concomitant treatment of the submental region with DCA and/or other treatments in the face and neck reflecting clinical practice patterns. Patients received 1 to 3 treatments (15 patients had a single treatment, 1 patient had 2 treatments, and 2 patients had 3 treatments). In this small group of 18 patients, DCA reduced subcutaneous fat in the jowl and tightened the overlying skin, recontouring the shape of the jaw and providing a smoother mandibular margin without significant side effects.
