Do I have festoons or just hollow under eyes? If it is festoons can it be treated with lower blepharoplasty and if not what can I do? If it's just hollow eyes will lower blepharoplasty treat the problem and get rid of the dark circles?

Answer: Peri-orbital aesthetics That area can be a bit complex to assess because there are a lot of variables that contribute. It doesn’t look like you have fully developed festoons, but you might have the beginning of them. There may also be a slight malar edema (poorly understood and difficult to treat) and it looks like you have some age related volume loss of volume in the tear trough area. It would be helpful if you could include a complete set of facial pictures. Look at how plastic surgeons take before and after pictures to get an idea. To get a more accurate assessment, I suggest a few in person consultations with the plastic surgeons in your community. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
