Malar Festoons: Two Questions?

December 3, 2012
Asked By:David So Cal

Question #1: "How common is having a malar bag under only one eye"? Question #2: "Can the edema ever be aspirated with a syringe, or is too interstitial? I ask this second question because of the malar bag I have under my left eye. It's approx. 1" long and sits directly on top of the orbit bone. To describe it, it has the look and feel of a large blister, but with out the translucent skin. For lack of a better description, imagine a subcutaneous soft gel vitamin E capsule. Thank you!
