I am 19 and I have pretty bad malar bags that really weigh on my self esteem!! I also have rosacea and that doesn’t help. Both conditions seem to worsen every day and I would like to do something about it. I have tried topicals for rosacea which have not helped, and I don’t know where to begin addressing the malar bags at my age. Btw I cut out any and all stressors of both conditions (I wear sunscreen, don’t smoke, I take allergy pills, ect) thank you!
Answer: Improving Under Eye with Fillers (Belotero, Volbella, Restylane Silk), Fraxel, Microneedling/PRP A combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Malar bags after a blepharoplasty can be improved with a mid face lift This is a great question. Yes, sagging eyelids can be corrected with blepharoplasty and if malar bags aren’t corrected, they can be more obvious afterwards, maybe not initially but certainly with time. A mini facelift or midgface lift is a great option for many people to correct malaria bags. The recovery & downtime is very minimal. There are usually no drains, most people can go out the same day, you can shower the next day, there're no scars behind the ears and you can wear your hair up anytime and most patients take no pain medicine. There are never any guarantees of course with any procedure whether it is surgical or nonsurgical in nature. Surgery is not for everyone. In today's day and age, there are many nonsurgical options to consider although surgery usually gets the most improvement specifically of the molar bags.I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of mini facelifts and eyelid lifts but also offers all the nonsurgical options such as injectables and laser treatments. Go over your concerns with them and make sure above all, you walk out of there with several options and an idea of the pros and cons to each of them as well as realistic expectations. I hope this helps and wish you all the best in your surgery and event. If it does, please take a moment to up vote this answer on the “respond” button on the top right.

Answer: Treating Eye Bags? Fillers or surgery Under eye bags can be permanently corrected with surgery or temporarily camouflaged with fillers (Restylane, Belotero, Volbella).There are great non-surgical options to fill in under eye depressions and hollowness. Using dermal fillers, a liquid eye-lift can be performed. A dermal filler such as Restylane would be placed in the cheek and tear trough to hide the depression or bag underneath your eye.

Answer: Malar bags Hello and thanks for your question- I really cant tell much of anything in the pics that you've attached. Malar bags can be treated. I usually use multiple modalities for a complete treatment. Fillers can be used which is how I usually like to start (similar to test driving a car) With anything in cosmetics, who you see is important, Find an expert in your area who you trust, who will teach you what's going on and how they plan to fix it. Educated patients make better decisions!Hope this helps and God Bless!
