Project Description

These photos show a man in his 50s before and after upper blepharoplasty, direct festoonectomy and lateral canthoplasty. When malar bags or festoons are this severe, directly excising the redundant tissue is the only option that will make a significant improvement in the problem. The surgery is not ideal, at the scar is in a visible location. After surgery, the patient looks younger and more refreshed. Its not a perfect result, as is typical when treating this condition, but his appearance is much better overall. He healed his cheek scars very well to the point of being invisible. Not everyone heals this well and some patients will have a permanent scar in this location.
