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

There isn't a really easy fix for your issue. However, a bit of filler can help ease the transition between the under eye area and the cheek. It is certainly worth a try. Find a board certified plastic surgeon in your area and schedule a consultation to discuss. Laser skin resurfacing could also help to tighten the skin which would improve how things look.My best,

Dear Carrie,It seems that you have a common problem that many face as they age. You have lower lid bags protruding through into the lower eyelid space as well as eyelid festoons/ malar mounds.They each need to be addressed for the best results.I've had much success using Lasers to help these conditions. Make sure the surgeon you choose has experience treating this difficult condition. I hope this was helpful. 

Lasers, fillers, and peels work best in this area.  I suggest seeing an expert for a formal evaluation.  Best, Dr. Emer.

You are seeing the outline of the malar fat pad and the transition from lid skin to cheek skin.  This is a hard thing to treat.  A small amount of filler can sometimes help to fill in the line.  Lower lid surgery can help to elevate the fat pad and change the shadows - but many people frequently still have persistent edema in the fat pad.  Laser resurfacing over the area can sometimes tighten the skin and help with the shadows.  Unfortunately there is no easy fix for this!  

Thank you for sharing your case and photos.  Malar bags are a notoriously difficult thing to treat.  In many cases, filler injections will make the condition look worse.  Try to stay away from salty foods and sleep with an extra pillow behind your head.  This will help your body decrease fluid retention.  Some doctors will try lasers, but I find this of limited benefit.  Good luck!
