I have puffy lower eye lids/ puffiness around cheekbones. The bags look like there's fluid or fat that hangs over and stops at the cheek bone. I would love to have a smooth non-puffy look around the cheekbone area. I would like to get lower lid blepharoplasty, is my case too difficult to treat since the puffiness falls in and around my cheekbone area. What should I do? I am prone to scarring, would my lower eyelids keloid or scar badly?
Answer: The upper cheekbone puffiness is malar edema, which is a difficult area, but it can be improved with non-surgical treatment Chronic elevation in the cheek area is referred to as malar

Answer: Restylane is great for treating dark circles underneath the eyes Believe it or not, Restylane (a facial filler) is great for filling in the dark circles underneath the eyes. I have done this many times with great results and no surgery! Therefore, you might want to try this before embarking on surgery.Kind regards,Dr. SchreiberBaltimore Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Reducing puffiness Good afternoon!Looking at your photos, I agree that a lower blepharoplasty alone will not address the puffiness over your malar area (cheekbones). In my opinion you require something a bit more involved such as a mid face lift. This will elevate those tissues higher on your face and give you a more youthful energetic look.I hope this helps.

Answer: I can virtually guarantee that you will be disappointed by lower eyelid surgery. Your issue is much more than a lower eyelid issue. You have a mid face problem. Lower eyelid surgery will never adequate address your issue as well meaning as your eyelid surgeon might be. I think you could do quite well with mid face/lower eyelid Restylane therapy. These are fussy services and who does your treatment makes a huge difference. Please be careful out there.
