Are these festoons or malar bags under my eyes? How should I go by correcting this problem? (Photo)

this looks more like swelling after laser procedure under the eyes. u can check with your doctor as to what the appropriate care would be post-laser. Festoons are hard to correct esp if they are located so far below the eyelid margin. I have done local excision in older patients which helps but its not the same for younger patients

Hi @KraigC. Malar bags can be difficult to treat. A non-surgical option would be Morpheus 8. Morpheus8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin
tightening and lifting.

Best of luck,

Dr. Nima!

If you get the small areas of your cheek prior to laser treatment and the other little bit more pronounced I would wait. The swelling and irritation of the tissue from the laser should subside over the next several weeks. Correction of festoons especially as low as yours is difficult.
