Question

Anything I can do about dry malar bag skin, or getting them removed please?

Nelson Lee Novick, MD · Answer

From the photo provided, it appears that a robust HA volumizing filler would work well for contouring the face, and at the same time improving the under-eye areas and diminishing the smile lines. You would be wise to consult with an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist filler expert, since expertise and experience are required by the injector to ensure that the specific contours of the male face are preserved, so as not to inadvertently feminize the face. The dermatologist can also better evaluate the nature of the dryness you complain of and will likely be able to prescribe an appropriate moisturizer or mild topical anti-inflammatory cream, if appropriate.  Hope this helps and best of luck.
