I am 54 & am having my 2nd treatment of Exilis Elite for face & neck tightening. I also have Malar Festoons (not to be confused with 'under eye bags'). The festoons are like fat/fluid deposits on the tops of each cheekbone. #1. Will Exilis affect the festoons adversely? #2.What are the cosmetic options for Malar Festoons? Some Drs. say laser, some no laser, cosmetic surgery, filler injections). I'd like to know options before consulting a surgeon. Thank You.
