Does Ellacor help Festoons?

Question

Can the Ellacor treatment help smooth out festoons caused by old fillers or simply heredity?

Jacob Tower, MD · Answer

Hello, hope you are well. Even if it had a theoretical benefit (which is unknown), in it's current form Ellacor cannot be reliably or safely applied to the area of the face where festoons occur.

Ok I think your question is actually two different issues... filler festoons need to be dissolved first and then Ellacor can help.  In that area, the skin is quite thin so the setting's likely have to be adjusted.  Hereditary festoons are probably not quite in the Ellacor regular areas- yet!  Other non-surgical options could be Morpheus8.  Surgical mid-face or eyelid lift may still be needed for optimal outcome.  Best Wishes!!

In my opinion ellacor is not going to help. What does work for treating festoons soon, is fat grafting. 
I would recommend having either a virtual or an in person consultation, and determine the best course of action, but as I said, above from my experience, fat grafting works the best providing natural and permanent results. I hope this helps and good luck from New York City Plastic Surgery.
