I would like to know what I can do to reduce the puffiness or to get rid of them completely?
Answer: How to treat festoons Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photo. You have festoons, which are particularly challenging for doctors to treat. Options include direct excision which can leave a significant scar, steroid injection which can cause atrophy, laser resurfacing which is usually only minimally effective and Doxycycline injections which a few doctors have found to be successful. Make an appointment for comprehensive evaluation and discussion of possible treatment options.Good luck,

Answer: Effective Solutions for Festoons and Cheekbone Puffiness If you’re dealing with puffy, fluid-like pockets on your cheekbones, commonly referred to as festoons, there are several effective treatment options available. Non-surgical solutions include otions like radiofrequency skin tightening, which helps firm the skin and reduce puffiness. Additionally, lifestyle changes like reducing salt intake and staying hydrated can also minimally alleviate some swelling. For more significant or persistent cases, surgical options such as blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) or excisional surgery to remove excess skin and fat may provide lasting results. It’s essential to consult with a qualified professional to discuss the best approach for your specific situation.

Answer: Festoons Hello and thank you for your question! In our practice, we have had some good success using a device called Plasmage (fractionated plasma) to resurface, shrink and tighten the skin over the festoons and thus shrink or eliminate them. Laser resurfacing may also be helpful. Neither of these options should leave any scarring, though they may need to be repeated from time to time. I hope this helps, best of luck!

Answer: Lower eyelid festoons and malar mounds Dear Patient from Virginia,The swollen mounds you appear to have based on your photos are referred to as eyelid festoons and Malar Mounds. They are often related to sun damage over time to the skin in this part of the face. They can wax and wane and are more common in people with lighter skin types. I've had success using lasers to tighten and improve this condition. Other options include surgery to cut them out but this leaves a scar in this area. I hope this was helpful.
