Malar bags treatment with Direct Excision, Fat Grafting, Lower eyelid Lift

The Treatment for malar bags can be: 1. Direct excision; 2. Fat injections; 3. Young Volumizer; 4. Lower eyelid Lift; 5. Facial Fillers. The benefits of the Direct Excision is that you can treat the area directly but there is the negative of having an incision right on the bag area. Fat injections are perhaps the most natural way to improve this area. The Young volumizer is like fat injections but done and developed by Dr. Young based on his theory on facial aesthetics.

Be minimally invasive

There are a number of invasive procedures which can be offered to you in an attempt to improve your condition. My experience is that in this instance less is better.

Don't get laser or fat for this.

These treatments are not permanent, but can last up to one year. Fat grafting is another option and can provide a more permanent result, but it can be difficult to get a complete result with one treatment.

Malar bags

You seem to have a fairly mild case at this point. They are caused by a loss of support from the orbital/malar retaining ligament. A midface or midcheek lift would help. Also adding volume to the entire tear trough area will help to camouflage this malar descent. Fat and fillers would be the best option for adding volume. A laser resurfacing procedure would improve the texture and that in combination with either fillers or lifting will improve. more
