What options do I have to reduce the appearance of festoons? (photo)

Question

I've had festoons since I was a kid. In the last few years I've tried fillers (now dissolved), laser skin tightening and laser skin resurfacing. What other options do I have to finally reduce the appearance of these things?

John Michael Thomassen, MD · Answer

A lower lid blepharoplasty to remove excess skin with a canthopexy to support the lateral canthus would be a good option.

C. Blake Perry, MD · Answer

Festoons are certainly one of the more difficult things to treat on the face. In my practice I use three modalities to treat festoons and usually in combination: 1) extended lower lid blepharoplasty to tighten the orbicularis muscle 2) direct festoon excision 3) Laser resurfacing. Best to see an expert in your area.
