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,

CONTACT NOW 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.

Answer: Festoons This is swelling in the malar fat pad, and can be referred to as festoons. Often with festoons there is also a thinning of the skin which you don't seem to have. These are not easy to remove. An extended lower lid blepharoplasty can elevate the whole area, and this can improve the contour. Some laser resurfacing on top of them can also sometimes flatten them. The difficulty is that this fat pad often can remain full after any trearment.
