Answer: Malar fat pad You have large malar fat pads. Have you had anything injected into this area ever? Looks like some edema or chronic inflammation that can occur especially after biopolymer injections. These are tough to treat. Sometimes a mid-face lift or bleph can help. Sometimes laser can help to tighten the skin. Need to get in person consult to determine what might benefit you.

Answer: I'm not sure if I have malar bags or festoons. I have swelling under my eyes on my cheekbones. (Photo) You do have what appears to be early festoons, These are very difficult to treat, but they can be improved significantly. First, check with a physician to assess your thyroid status, as well as a good physical exam. Providing studies are normal, I would start with ThermiSmooth treatments. You may have to graduate to ThermiTight treatments eventually, both of which melt fat and tighten skin. The ThermiTight is one treatment and micro-invasive, and the ThermiSmooth is 3-4 treatments.Ultimately, as you get older, festoons can be excised.Through the years, I have found this to be very effective, and the scar fades with time The faint scar is quite an improvement over the festoons.Thank you for your question and photos..
