Why You Probably Won’t Find Festoons Treatment Locally
Searching locally for someone to treat festoons can be frustrating because festoons are often misdiagnosed as eye bags.
But they are not the same.
Eye bags form just beneath the lower eyelid when fat pads push forward with age. Festoons form lower on the upper cheek and involve swollen skin, muscle, and fluid.
That is why lower eyelid surgery may remove eye bags, but it does not remove festoons, also known as malar bags.
Festoons require a highly specialized approach. Many plastic surgeons have little or no experience treating them, which is why effective treatment is rarely available locally.
RESET® for Festoons is a specialized laser surgical procedure designed to remove festoons and resurface damaged skin to a healthier, tighter state.
Patients travel from across the country and around the world to Dr. Scheiner’s practice in Tampa, Florida for this unique procedure.
