Hi, I am a female (22). What should I do about my malar festoons? They seem to be getting worse and it's weird because I don't have any prominent eye bags.. I recently got cheek filler but I'm worried it made it worse. What can I do? Is it just there forever???

You should never do at home filler injections this maybe swelling but also could be due to vascular event if there is skin color change or major pain. see an expert in filler injections to help. Best, Dr. Emer.
It is generally recommended to avoid any elective treatments, including injectable fillers, in women who are pregnant or breast feeding. Having a filler treatment a few months prior to becoming pregnant should not cause any issues.
There are minimal increased risks for fillers. Bruising could potentially be more significant. For any type of surgery you will need to get surgical clearance from your hematologist before proceeding.
