Efficacy and Safety of Deoxycholic Acid Injections for Removal of Adipose Tissue in the "Bra Strap Fat" Region
Completed · Phase 4
Conditions studied: Brassiere Strap Fat (BSF), Bra Strap Fat (BSF)
In brief
This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of deoxycholic acid injections to dissolve adipose tissue in the anterior and posterior aspect of the axilla or the so called "brassiere strap fat" (BSF). Adult females aged 18-65 dissatisfied with their moderate or severe BSF will receive deoxycholic acid (dose strength: 2 mg/cm2) via subcutaneous injections into posterior and/or anterior axillary roll adiposity .
