Thank you for yourquestion.Injectable Fillers can do an excellent job of camouflaging lower eyelid festoons or malar bags.To be sure, seetwo or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation tomake sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have thesetreatments.I hope this helps.
Festoons are a difficult but common problem and require a customized approach. We've had good results with Ulthera and more recently Thermi Tight and Thermi smooth. These are devices that stimulate collagen to create an adhesion between the skin and underlying soft tissue where the fluid of the festoon collects.

Make sure to choose a board certified surgeon who is a specialist in this area and with cosmetic fillers and devices.

I would consider getting filler injections into your lower eyelids and upper cheeks instead of a tear trough implant. Filler injections are less invasive and more customizable - the injections can be optimized to your unique anatomy. Surgery is a great option in many situations, but I would opt...
Some bruising and swelling is to be expected after the procedures you underwent. It's too early to worry about anything that might require a revision. Management of the eyelids in the interim should be managed by your own surgeon.
You have a ptosis of the left upper lid. You may also have blepharitis, but that won't cause a ptosis. Treating the blepharitis will make your eye feel more comfortable. But to evaluate and fix the ptosis you should see an oculoplastic surgeon.
