Hi. I'm only 23 and I feel like I look old!! I have a few (very slight) expression lines on my forehead and I also have malar bags. They make me so self conscious. And they are getting worse. I've tried everything, but I'm scared to get work done because I've also seen a lot of bad reviews on malar bag removal etc. I wear sunscreen every single day and When I'm out in the sun for long periods, I reapply sunscreen and wear sunglasses! I don't know what to do.
Answer: Botox, Ultrasound Radio Frequency, and Laser Skin Resurfacing From what can be seen in the photos you provided, you would be a candidate for a few different treatments. I would first like to touch on the issue of the expression lines on your forehead. This can be treated within minutes with Botox injections. During treatment, 10 to 16 small dose injections are administered over the forehead area. The goal is to weaken rather than to paralyze the forehead muscles. Once the muscles in the area have been relaxed you will see a significant difference in the appearance of the resting or expression lines you are seeing. When dealing with the Malar bags as you mentioned also known as Festoons suitable treatment options would be Ultrasound Radio Frequency or Laser Skin Resurfacing. Ultrasound Radio Frequency will induce heat and stimulate collagen regeneration and replenishment for skin tightening. The Laser Skin Resurfacing procedure would also help with promotion of collagen growth which will then tighten the skin, giving you an overall even look and refreshed appearance.

Answer: Lower lid bags Thanks for the photos. You have mild malar bags, a prominent tear trough, and an obvious lid cheek junction. As you are young, the first intervention is good skin care. antioxidants, sunscreeen etc.. In addition, a small amount of dermal filler will go along way in someone lid you. I also think laser therapy to your skin will help tighten the malar bags. I am against surgery for you at this point. Good luck. Dr Z

Answer: Eye hollows #puffiness #eyebags #blepharoplasty darkeyes Dear kst17Thank you for your questions and photos! You have a combination of skin color change, malar puffiness and a hollow. A conservative approach with skin care first , and possibly some form of laser to improve the skin. My concern is the malar puffiness- which any type of approach with injury may make this worse.With Warm RegardsTrevor M Born MD

Answer: Malar Mound treatment Dear 23 year old patient,Although malar mounds and festoons tend to develop later in life, they can be seen in certain families at an earlier age. They can wax and wane and tend to be worse in the morning. The best way to improve them is to have new collagen fibers and elastic fibers fill that area of the face. The body has great abilities to heal itself and when injured it tends to do this. I've had success improving malar mounds and eyelid festoons using lasers. I'll include a link below. I hope this was helpful.
