  I've been having Botox injections around my eyes for several years with never any side effects. I've also had Restylane and Juvederm in the past for naso-labial groove lines. Most of the time I've been happy with the results but one time my doctor injected too much of it and I had a worm looking line on the right side of my face for several weeks/months.
  Recently I had a face lift (same surgeon) and was very happy with the results. 2 1/2 months later once the swelling was completing gone I noticed bags appearing under my eyes, closer to the upper cheeks than the eyes. My surgeon calls them festoon lines and now tells me that's it my natural process of aging. My mother died at 85 and never had them neither my father nor do my 2 sisters who are 51 and 61. I'm 55 and almost overnight he is telling me that I developed festoon lines.
  I'm very upset about it, really obsessed, it's negating the positive look of my face lift and I'm wondering if anyone has any idea of what could have happened.
  I've had a really good relationship with my surgeon for years but now I feel he is washing his hands off of me and telling me that an eye lid surgeon should be able to deal with festoon lines although that's a tough cosmetic condition.
  HELP please, don't quite know where to turn. Thanks
