Prominent lines after under eye filler, no difference using Tixel - advice? (photos)

Question

Im a 32 years old female. 3 month ago I did under eye fillers and since than I think I have malar bag/ festoons. Before the treatment i had realy gentel lines in the malar area but since the filling , the lines are very porminent. I consulted an eye surgeon who suggested not to dissolve the filler beacuse it can cause more problems, and instead he recommended using Tixel to reduce puffiness and edema. I had only one treatment but I cant see any difference. Do you have any suggestions?

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.

Festoons are hard to treat.  Filler sometimes can make them look more pronounced.  You may want to try Morpheus8.  These treatments combine microneedling and RF technology to improve overall skin tone and texture.  Optimal results are seen after three treatments.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products, such as Transform MD, and wearing sunscreen every day.
