I am 47 years old and have festoons. I have had upper and lower Blepharoplasty and feel so deflated that I still have these lower bags under my eyes. I have tried 2 rounds of co2 laser which has helped but they are still there. I have spoken to 2 plastic surgeons who won’t touch them as they say they are too difficult to treat. They get me down so much. Can anyone please tell me what I can do?
Answer: Consider your options for minimizing festoons Thank you for your question. Festoons can be difficult to treat and typically require a multi-step approach. If you have excess skin in this area, another blepharoplasty surgery can be performed to excise it, while the remaining skin may benefit from laser resurfacing or RF microneedling to improve its elasticity. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers may also be used to camouflage the festoons by restoring lost volume.

Answer: Festoons Pictures would be helpful. That being said, laser treatments can sometimes be helpful, but you've tried this already. If they are truly bags hanging off of the cheeks, then, surgical excision of them followed by resurfacing such as with a CO2 laser may be warranted.

Answer: Need to come in to consult For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Festoons Festoons are a difficult cosmetic problem to treat, as they are caused by a combination of skin laxity, fat loss, and fluid accumulation in the lower eyelid area. It sounds like you have already tried some treatments, but have not achieved the results you were hoping for.
