Malar pad solution? (Photo)

You have prominent malar mounds. Festoons are actually due to excess muscle laxity. Not sure how long ago your facelift was. The endotines can take quite a while to absorb. In the process they might be inducing enough on flammation to keep the mound swollen. The malar mounds are very sensitive to fluid retention, which can be increased from recent surgery. Also make sure cut down and eliminate as much salt in your diet as possible. Another culprit, though less likely could be your thyrpid level. Make sure that is notmal. And of course any type of nes make-up, cleanser or skin treatment. If all of the above is normal and ruled out, I think that only surgery will be able to correct this problem. Good luck.

Festoons are very difficult to treat.  These are really 'bags of fluid' that rest in a normal anatomic 'holding area' just below the orbital rim.  They can be exacerbated by allergy, surgery, or anything that causes inflammation.Many treatments have been tried on these (lasers, etc) and to my knowledge none have worked well.  I am not familiar with the efficacy of the magnetic device on these.  Like any procedure, I'd ask the surgeon about their own personal results with this technique.One thing that I've found useful is topical steroid cream (ask your doc for a prescription), for a short period of time (7-14 days).Best,Dr. Most

Dear tripo74Thank you for your questions and photo!  I do not know of any NON- surgical way to manage a FESTOON, other than a steroid injection in the immediate post op period to manage ACUTE SURGICAL swelling.There are surgical options - BUT these are not always successful.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD
