Revision Festoon Surgery NJ - Best Festoon Surgeon

Taking the steps to remove festoons by undergoing festoon surgery or non-invasive treatments only to be left with incomplete festoon removal, complications, or a worse appearance can take a toll on a person’s health and self-esteem. Revision festoon surgery is a secondary surgical procedure to correct the results or fix complications from previous festoon surgery or treatments.

What Are Festoons?

Festoons are pockets of fluid that surface on the face between the eyelid and cheek region and can occur for a variety of reasons. Festoons contribute to a tired appearance with swelling around or under the eye, occasionally resembling dark circles under the eye. Festoons can be difficult to treat due to their complex nature. 

What To Know When Considering Festoon Surgery Or Treatments

Before undergoing festoon surgery, it is important to determine the cause behind your festoons. While they can be a result of genetic factors and aging, festoons can also result from lifestyle factors, such as sun damage, smoking, and undergoing cosmetic fillers. It is important that your plastic surgeon understands the cause behind your festoons, in order to provide the best surgical outcome.

Choosing The Right Plastic Surgeon For Festoon Removal

Dr. Asaadi specializes in festoon surgery and revision festoon surgery, correcting the results or complications from previous festoon surgery or treatments. As festoons are difficult to treat, going to a plastic surgeon that understands and can effectively remove festoons is important. Undergoing festoon surgery with a surgeon that does not understand the intricacies of festoons can result in unsuccessful results. At Asaadi Plastic Surgery, we see an increase in patients seeking revision surgery following unsuccessful removal from other providers demonstrating ineffective techniques and understanding of the complexities and nuances of festoons and festoon removal surgery. Revision festoon surgery is normally not needed if you go to the right plastic surgeon. Even undergoing non-invasive treatments aimed at reducing festoon appearances can result in more harm than good.

Determine If You Are A Candidate For Revision Festoon Surgery

Patients that have undergone festoon surgery or non-invasive treatments such as cosmetic fillers, lasers, microneedling, and more with unsuccessful results or complications may be candidates for revision festoon surgery. Patients may be seeking revision festoon surgery due to incomplete removal, scarring, eyelid retraction, or ectropion. Ideal patients considering revision festoon surgery have waited at least 6 months after their first treatment, are in good general health, and do not smoke.

Revision Festoon Surgery – What To Expect

Dr. Asaadi and his staff at Asaadi Plastic Surgery will meet with you to evaluate the cause of your festoons. Dr. Asaadi established the Botox® Test, allowing him to diagnose if your festoons are caused by muscle laxity or excess fat. Determining the cause will provide the foundation for proper treatment. Dr. Asaadi will answer any questions you may have and provide you with a treatment plan before and after the procedure. It is important to note that any revision surgery poses unique challenges due to existing scarring and altered anatomy from the initial treatment. Working with an experienced festoon surgeon is essential to achieve the best possible results.

Dr. Asaadi and our staff at Asaadi Plastic Surgery are happy to discuss revision festoon surgery to correct results from previous surgery or treatments. Contact our New Jersey office at 973.731.7000 or request an appointment today!
