I have tried fillers with no help
Answer: Filler injection to camouflage festoon Looking at the photos, I think best treatment would be filler injection around the "festoons" as there is hollowness present.

Answer: Cheek/eye/festoon bags above the cheeks. What are the options? Hello,This is a common and challenging condition. In our practice, we have successfully "improved" the appearance using dermal fillers if a patient is not a good candidate for, or is averse to, a surgical option. It's understandable that your previous filler experience was not satisfactory, as many injectors may not realize the best approach or set the correct expectations of improvement. Being that the issue is the festooning/bulge, the goal is to camouflage this by blending the two areas or bridging the gap, so to speak. Having an in-person consultation for both options (surgery vs filler) may be worthwhile in finding a better outcome. Lastly, lasers will not improve this condition.

Answer: Treatment of eyelid festoons Lower eyelid festoons are a difficult problem, but in your particular case, are not as significant as other festoons. Lower eyelid blepharoplasty will do nothing for festoons, including yours. Significant festoons are usually treated with direct surgical excision, but in your case, micro liposuction would improve your situation.

Answer: Creases in your cheeks are more related to malar bags and the small crease that you show is probably best managed with fillers done using the proper techniques. No legitimate surgeon would offer traditional CO2 laser in your situation and blepharoplasties remove excess skin, which I do not appreciate any at all. A dermal filler placed in the proper plane should smooth the crease out. If you prefer something else, ThermiRF could be done to help shrink the skin to diminish the crease. See a board certified plastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon, or oculoplastic surgeon for more information on how best to manage this
