Since I was a child I have had what I think are malar bags - puffiness on my cheekbones rather than directly under my eyes. They seem to be getting worse as I get older, and often become red at times throughout the day. No one else in my family has this problem, so I was wondering if it may be a medical issue? If so, what are possible causes? If it is a cosmetic issue, why would this occur in someone so young (19 years old) and what are some options to resolve this? Thank you.
