What is the best treatment for festoon just beginning to develop?

hyperpigmentedNov 17, 2022
Hello I am 66 year old woman who is just now beginning to develop a festoon (malar mound) on top of left cheekbone. I would like to have something done which could stop the progression of the festoon. I have reduced my salt intake and am treating area with tretinoin creme. This has already helped. What would be your best Laser recommendation for this problem?

Hello! To correct overfilled filler, you would have to dissolve it and then re-fill if you are interested in replacing the filler. It is always better to underfill than overfill, you can always build filler slowly to give you the best and most natural results. Best of Luck!Dr. Julia Spears MD
