Drs. Sam Jejurikar, Salvatore Pacella and Sam Rhee

Discover the subtle intricacies of facial cosmetic surgery as we unravel the complexities of "cheek bag," or festoon treatment with Dr. Salvatore Pacella @sandiegoplasticsurgeon, Dr. Lawrence Tong @yorkvilleplasticsurgery, and Dr. Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic. Together, we dissect the critical differences between lower eyelid bags and festoons, providing you with a roadmap to understanding why some traditional methods like lower eyelid blepharoplasty might not always hit the mark. Join us as we navigate the anatomy that underpins this nuanced area of expertise, delving into the delicate layering of skin, periosteum, and ligaments that are pivotal for successful management of festoons. 

In our conversation, we tackle the full spectrum of festoon treatment strategies, weighing the pros and cons of both surgical and non-surgical approaches. We dissect the effectiveness of intralesional tetracycline, ultrasound, and radiofrequency for milder cases and delve into the controversial topic of fillers, a method that can often backfire when not underpinned by a comprehensive understanding of festoon anatomy and pathophysiology. This eye-opening discussion parallels festoon management with ptosis repair, underscoring the importance of setting realistic expectations with patients and highlighting that the path to aesthetic refinement is as much an art as it is a science.
