Dr Oz once featured a patient with severe festoons on her face and her plastic surgeon, she looked terrific after!! It takes more than facial lipo, since just removing the fat will leave a hollow look, it all needs to be smoothed out after the extra fat is removed.

Mine were removed when having a facelift ten years ago. They bothered me for years. Not sure anything but plastic surgery will help. Worth checking out with ps. I'm thinking it could be done as part of lower eye lift

When I saw this topic, I thought it was some kind of a balloon or party ornament!

I think I know what everyone is talking about though, and if I had those I would be consulting with a plastic surgeon.

Oh, no! I'm getting those, too. I was wondering if I'd moved something around with my NuFace! Darn it! With all the problems I want fixed that need a plastic surgeon, it's going to be a very l-o-n-g list!

I have never heard of them so I googled them. Honestly, I've never even seen them before. Do they know why people get them?
