Last year, a patient of mine returned five years after her facelift with concerns about her lower eyelids.  In particular, she had a bag lower than the usual bags from aging.  Technically, this is called a festoon; she just called it ugly.  No matter what she did, she could not get rid of it.  She tried eye creams, low salt diets, massage and make-up.  Nothing worked.
