There are options for aesthetic treatment of the wide eyes after the medical causes for the proptosis are treated.

I suspect what you think is a festoon is not a festoon. You probably just describing an under eye circle. If you want a more precise answer, consider uploading pictures but please do ask your parents for permission first.
Thank you for including photos. I don't think that you would get the best result with injectables. However, a lower eyelid blepharoplasty (eyelid lift) with fat repositioning to fill in the hollow under your lower eyelids should provide you with very nice improvement. It would...
