have malar crescents. Which would be the better face lift to have,or the most suitable procedure to address the malar? I have been told by my surgeon that a smas lift would correct the malar. Is he right?
Answer: Will a SMAS facelift correct malar crescents or bags. If by malar crescents you mean malar bags or festoons the standard SMAS facelift is unlikely to improve them.The surgical procedure to improve malar bags or festoons involves an extended lateral lower eyelid incision with cheek elevation directly. Even this maneuver cannot always correct them.Considering the scarring involved with a direct lateral extended eyelid incision after many years I have chosen to treat malar bags by using filler injections in the crease below the bag which creates a satisfactory cosmetic result.

Answer: Will SMAS lift treat malar bags? A photo would be very helpful to see the extent of your problem. True malar bags or festoons are difficult to treat and fully correct. A SMAS facelift may improve their appearance but additional procedures on the lower eyelid would likely be needed to maximize this improvement.

Answer: Best Treatment for Malar Crescents? True malar crescents, or malar bags are difficult to fully eradicate. However, in my experience, the best strategy for patients with this problem is a SMAS based facelift combined with a lower lid Blepharoplasty/ cheek elevation. It is important to understand that the majority of Facelifts in this country are performed with manipulation of the SMAS. The degree of SMAS manipulation and the experience of the Surgeon are the two most important factors in the type and longevity of the result you will receive. In my opinion, techniques that allow for SMAS imbrication (lifting and resetting of the SMAS) yield superior results to SMAS plications (suture tightening of the undisturbed SMAS layer).
