How to treat under eye top of cheek malar bags? (photos)

April 20, 2016
Asked By:carriecavender in Atlanta, GA

I have what I think is fluid/malar bags. It's really bad on my right side but hardley noticeable on the left side. I sleep on my right side...wondering if that could be part of the problem? On the right side it looks less like a bag and more like a scar across my cheek. Wondering if this is a filler issue or surgery or laser? Tired of looking tired. Help!
