Voluma or lower blepharoplasty for festoons / malar bags? (photos)

Asked By:Fearless494073 in Gaithersburg, Maryland

Help! I developed festoons or malar bags after covid in December. I’ve had blood work and addressed sinus issues and they prevail. So, I had a consultation with my Botox doctor who suggested voluma under the bags/on cheek to smooth the area. I’ve heard so many negative things I’m worried and may just skip it and get lower bleph -thoughts? Obviously sometimes it can look normal-ish but never like I did before covid just 4 months ago. Help!
