I am a 43 year old woman with malar bags, one side more prominent then the other. I have no medical reason for them it is simply genetics in my case. I do sleep elevated. I have tried fillers (2 years ago) I have had a lower lid pinch, I had one full face laser treatment but special attention was paid to the bags. And while I have been very happy with any procedure I've had done thus far, these malar bags persist. Looking for someone in or a few states away from Minnesota if possible.

Canthopexy will NOT achieve what you want. If you want more almond shape eyes, few extra steps are required (see following video and link). Additional infraorbital rim implant can be placed during the procedure but it is not mandatory.
Thank you for the photo!
At 3 1/2 weeks, you are still in the early stages of healing.
By 3 months things should be looking pretty normal but in some cases can take a bit longer.
No need for concern at this stage.
Pseudostrabismus is the appearance of crossed eyes which usually results from excess skin or folds in the inner corner of the eye. This can be corrected under local anaesthetic with a relatively minor procedure releasing that web or tight piece of skin.
