Can Malar bags below the lower eyelid be removed?

Maria7500
I wen for a facelift a month ago and the only reason why I decided to go through this procedure was because I asked my PS if he could remove the bags I had in that specific area. He told that it was possible just by lifting and tightening my skin and of course the tissues inside. Its been a month already and the are still there and they look even worse now because after having my skin pulled to the side they look more prominent. I am very disappointed because after I gad the facelift I researched and found out that this bags are impossible to be corrected or removed through a facelift. To make things worse now I have a hollow below those bags and going down to my chin, This hollow is right in the middle of my face and it looks somehow deformed. Please help me to find an answer and if there is any way that this can be fix by another doctor. I don't trust my PS anymore. He gets upset whenever I let him know my concerns. Thank you Mia 2
