How do I deal with malar bags or festoons? (Photo)

sle123
After a period of intense stress, I developed festoons. I am only 22 years old and am wondering how to get rid of them, or since the cause of them was stress, if they will go away by themsvles b/c of my age. I have very noticeably had them for 10 months now. Surgery sounds ridiculous. Are there any natural remedies? What kind of doctor would I see about this? How unusual or usual is it for a person of my age to develop these? It does not run in my family b/c neither of my parents have them.
