I’m 19 with severe genetic malar mounds/festoon and eye bags. What can I do? I feel like I look so old.

Question

I have spent hours researching what to do about this. They are 100% inherited alongside with my chubby cheeks and fat next to my nostrils. I’m looking into getting a lymphatic massage though I’ve seen some people haven’t had much success for malar bags and eye bags with that. Im thinking about morpheous8 possibly? I feel so lost with what to do. I feel like I look like a grandma at 19. I have no friends and don’t want to meet people or go out in public because my malar mounds make me insecure.

If you have festoons, malar bags, and aging skin too early send us a picture and we can make a recommendation. There are many potential treatments!  Most of them can be done right in the office.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules weekly see link) should be started now.

There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will be the best long term.  There are many things you can do to treat under eye hollows and dark circles. A surgical option to remove skin and/or fat will be the best long term.  However, non invasive less downtime options such as fillers, lasers, microneedling/PRP, cosmelan peels and stem cells can all help give some improvement. I suggest. You get a formal consultation to see what is best for you and your goals.  Best, Dr. Emer.
