Hello, I have malar bags or festoons, not sure exactly which one but from doing research it seems that filler is not a good option for this issue and because I am brown skinned, co2 lasering might not be the best option either. I did see some studies on doxycycline injections but it seems very new. Can anybody tell me what procedure would best treat this issue?
I'm 25f and need advice on what procedure can help with this uneven skin texture section on my right cheek. I also have a groove on my right cheek, in the malar area. I feel like my cheek looks like it's caving in. I wanted to see if laser skin resurfacing can help with the texture and help tighten my skin? I was also told by a medical spa that filler can help add volume to my midface and add lift, however I don't really want filler and want something with more longevity.
I performed a Co2 laser 3 months ago on my entire face, I didn't do it on the eyelids. But the malar region was hit. After these 3 months the swelling in the malar region of the sides did not disappear. What should I do?
2 weeks post OP C02 ablative full face with under eye fat transfer. Worried about malar festoons still there & under eye bags from fat transfer. How long should it take until they are more reduced or gone? Dr treated aggressively. I had festoons which were bigger but didnt have bags. Now I see small bags & festoons aren't gone. Is it still too early?
I am between a 4 and 5 on the Fitzpatrick scale I believe. I am of African, Asian and Caucasian decent and I have been told that my skin is too dark for some of the lazars in the past. I am 51 and my malar bags are not obvious in the attached photos but they are almost always present. I do not have eye bags otherwise, just this puffiness at the cheekbone at the eyesocket. I use retin -A .1% daily
I am just over 2.5 months post procedure but I seem to have this puffiness & reddish color on my upper cheek (malar bag area) , one side only. I didn't have malar bags before procedure. I use Cerve cleanser, Cerve moisturizer and SPF 45-60. Is this normal swelling? Did the laser damage my malar area? Dr said it might be topical but I use the simplest cleanser and no longer use retin a or hydroquine . I also do everything possible to limit my sun exposure. Appreciate any advice. THX!
