Prominent Malar Bags - How Do I Remove Them?

The treatment depends on the cause. If it is water related swelling due to allergies you need to have those allergies treated first. If it is deeper fat that has pushed through between the muscle fibers to create the bulge then the fat can be removed with a small liposuction cannula. You can see a photo of this on my real self before and after photo section and access it via my profile page.

So malar bags in someone of your age is multifactorial. It is a strong nasojugular ligament, wanter retention and likely an aspect of dermatitis. We should treat the water retention (salt restriction) and the dermatitis (topical anti-inflammatory creams). As for the demarcated ligament, the best treatment is to augment the surrounding tissues to camouflage this demarcation. We do that with fillers or even better fat transfer. Hope this helps.Best of luck,DrC

Malar bags are very difficult to to treat. They are due to fluid retention. The first thing I ask patients to do is to decrease their salt intake. This helps some of them. Occasionally steroid injections can help. Good luck.
