I sometimes swell up along my upper cheeks. I'm pretty sure they're festoons. Which sucks. I wanted to get tear trough and mid-cheek fillers but my festoons showed up. They don't look this bad all the time. I'll post photos with pics from a few days ago and today so you can see the difference.

Answer: Fillers for tear troughs and malar fat pads (festoons) Hello and thank you for your question. When treated carefully and precisely with fillers, your tear troughs and malar fat pads (festoons) can be camouflaged well. Since it seems that the intensity of the festoons differ from day to day, it is important to have your injector under-treat to account for the water retention that happens when injecting a hyaluronic acid filler. Be sure to seek an experienced injector who specializes in facial aesthetics for best results. Good luck!

Answer: Softening the Festoons Festoons can be made worse by fillers and even if they are not hydrophilic (pull in water).. If they appeared worse shortly after an injection of hyaluronic acid fillers then you can consider having a dissolving agent applied to the medial aspect of the tear trough where was injected. This seems to be the "drain" for the lymphatic of this area. If this works then have your injector avoid this area and perhaps fill your malar area, medial to the festoon. Make sure that your injector has a lot of experience injecting around the eyes..
