I am 24 years old. I have malar festoon from the earliest memory I had of my face. My face is soo much asymmetrical. Right side fat is very less compared to the left. So my festoons appear very prominent. I can't even pose a single foto without smiling ear to ear because that would create a mistake face lift impression and cover my festoons. I totally lost my confidence. Please help. What can I do.

Answer: Treatment of "Malar Festoons and Asymmetry"
You have upper eyelid ptosis and your ptosis is repairable. Perhaps the surgeons you have seen are reconstructive ptosis surgeons. I often will operate on as little as a 1/2 millimeter of ptosis. Most surgeons are not comfortable with this and will quote ptosis surgery as accurate plus or minus...
Yes, you have a muscle that pops up when you make facial expressions. The treatment for this is botox injections. After a few botox injections over time, the muscle with slim down and pop out less. Surgery is not used for this. See an oculoplastic expert.
