Will dermal fillers remedy this and are these malar bags or mid cheek groove? (Photos)

Question

I’ve had pronounced/deep lines under my eyes for as long as I can remember. My 5 year old son has them too so they are clearly genetic and hereditary.

The deep groove seen is a function of the overlying protruding malar bag. In experienced hands, fillers can be used to camouflage the separation and create a more gradual transition between the upper cheek region and the lower eyelid area. Make sure to find an experienced, board certified aesthetic physician injector and be wary of medspa, storefront, and non-physician and non-core physician injectors. Best of luck.

Hi, under eye filler would soften your malar bags and cheek groves . Under eye filler aims at treating under eye darkness, bags and dark circles. These under eye problems are not associated with aging.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

looks like you have both volume loss and malar bags. this needs fillers for contouring, lasers in the office and plasma pen, at home peels like emeragecosmetics ENLIGHTEN and emerageskin x ANTEAGE MD microneedling.  see link.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Benjamin Barankin, MD, FRCPC · Answer

I believe that fillers would improve this area a fair bit, though not always entirely. Best to see your local dermatologist for a treatment plan, for optimal results and safety.

A filler will likely give you a good result. It would fill in the hollow area and leave you with a smoother cheek. Check with your doctor to see which filler is the best option for you!
