What do I do about these Malar mounds/festoons on my cheeks?

Gregarious8821
I’ve had these since I was born. A number of my family members have them to a certain extent. They are on my fathers side. My dad has them and so does my brother. My step brothers do not have them however neither does my mum.Both my children have them. I know it’s genetic and not caused by underlying conditions. I seem to have them the worst in the entire family. I would like to know how I at least minimise these and give my face a more youthful look. What would you suggest?
