How can I prevent these lumps on my cheekbones? I am fourteen

Based on you facial structure, you have premature malar bags or festoons.  There is no way to prevent them but you can camouflage them with fillers.

Thank you for your question about non surgical face lift.You are correct. I do not think that you would benefit from facelift or fillers.This is more likely related to:possible seasonal allergiessinus problemsgeneticsbloating or water retentionsleep depravationother miscellaneous conditionsTo be sure, with parental consent see two or more licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have these treatments.I hope this helps.

Hello SurfergirlSteph, Thank you for your question. Based on your photo it appears you have what are called malar bags or pouches.  The presence of malar bags can be related to blockage of normal lymphatic flow, the aging process, genetics, allergies, sinus infections, lack of sleep, water retention (related to your menses).  Do wear swimming goggles?Also it could be related to other underlying medical problems such as  kidney insufficiency, liver cirrhosis or thyroid conditions (hypo or hyperthyroidism).Without examining you, physically feeling the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of any treatments it is difficult to be comprehensive.I would recommend seeing your primary care doctor to rule out causes secondary to a medical condition, as well as look at other family members and ask if this runs in the family.  I hope this helps.Dr. Shadfar
