What Is Festoon Surgery?
Festoon Surgery is a corrective procedure designed to improve festoons, which are crescent-shaped bulges or swelling that appear along the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek. Unlike typical eye bags caused by lower eyelid fat protrusion, festoons involve changes in the skin, muscle, fluid retention, and soft tissues around the cheek area.

Why patients choose festoon surgery
- Reduce lower eyelid and cheek puffiness
- Improve uneven under-eye contours
- Smooth the transition between the eyes and cheeks
- Reduce a tired-looking appearance
- Restore a more youthful lower face profile
- Improve facial harmony
The treatment method depends on whether the festoons are primarily caused by skin laxity, tissue descent, fluid accumulation, or structural changes.
Correcting Lower Eyelid and Cheek Junction Bulging at T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon
Festoons can create persistent puffiness and uneven contours between the lower eyelid and upper cheek area, making the face appear tired or aged even with adequate rest. Festoon Surgery is a specialized lower facial rejuvenation procedure designed to improve sagging tissue, excess skin, and bulging along the lower eyelid-cheek junction for a smoother and more refreshed appearance.
At T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon, each festoon surgery procedure is customized according to lower eyelid anatomy, skin elasticity, facial structure, and the underlying cause of festoon formation. The clinic focuses on restoring natural under-eye contours while maintaining balanced facial proportions for both local and international patients.

Frequently asked
Festoon Surgery questions
Have a question about your own case? Send a photo on WhatsApp — a coordinator replies with your surgeon’s guidance.
Ask on WhatsApp →Is Festoon Surgery the same as lower blepharoplasty?
No. Lower blepharoplasty mainly addresses excess skin and protruding fat under the eyes, while Festoon Surgery focuses on the lower eyelid-cheek junction where festoons develop.
Can festoons come back after surgery?
Results are long-lasting, but natural aging and changes in skin elasticity may continue over time.
How long should international patients stay in Busan?
Most international patients stay around 7–10 days for follow-up appointments and early recovery monitoring before returning home.
Can Festoon Surgery be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Depending on individual concerns, it may be combined with lower blepharoplasty, under-eye fat repositioning, upper eyelid surgery, or other facial rejuvenation procedures.
