Malar bags- am I a candidate for filler or any other non invasive treatment? Or do I need a lower lid blemph. I am 29. I have had one tiny tiny one on my my right cheek since I was a kid but when I turned 23 and they suddenly appeared prominently- they haven’t gotten much worse since then but I think they age me a lot. I take good care of my skin now but didn’t when I was a teenager/my early 20s.

Answer: Malar aging Thank you for your question. As we age, we lose volume but also volume tends to descend. This region is usually one of the first to show. Fillers are popular here to restore lost volume and soften shadows. However, in your case, soft tissue descent appears to be the primary component. There are a few ways to treat this area, but personally I prefer the SOOF (sub orbicularis oculi fat) lift. It's done through an incision on the inside of the lower eyelid, and using that incision, the descended fat is elevated. Again, there are multiple treatments, so take your time and see if you find the one that looks the best to you.

Answer: Malar bags Malar bags are difficult to treat. If fillers are misplaced they can make the area appear heavier. Some patients find improvement with Morpheus8 which can remodel underlying tissues, improving skin tone and texture.
