22 years old . Lower eyelid bulge, festoons? Options? (photos)

Question

I am only 22 years old but I have an odd bulge under my eye. I don't know if it's due to festoons or eye bags? What can I do to help myself?

E. Ronald Finger, MD · Answer

You do not have festoons. Judging from your photo, you may have a very slight bulge of the central and lateral fat pockets. To eliminate the excess fat you can have surgery to excised the fat, but my recommendation would be the VirtueRF Exact (radiofrequency) needle to melt the fat if it needs removal. This is very successful, when fat is the problem. With your photos, its hard to tell.
Also, "fillers" just below the fat would be in the tear trough, and this would hide the dark shadow which accentuates the bulge. The fillers would be my choice for the first procedure as it is reversible and only takes a few minutes. Plus, there is usually no recovery needed. Of course, a consultation with a plastic surgeon would be necessary for a definitive answer.
