Hi, I'm 30 and have what I believe to be malar mounds, which is worse under one eye (pics attached). I've been using retinol and sunscreen and practicing a good skincare regime, however i understand that this won't help with malar mounds. I'm wondering whether there are any potential treatments available for this. Thank you

Answer: Lower eyelid bags and malar mounds Dear Nimsak89,It appears you have a combination of lower eyelid bags from fat prolapsing forward into the lower eyelid space and malar mound or festoons.Its best to address both conditions when considering lower eyelid rejuvenation. The lower lid bags can be removed or repositioned surgically. The malar mounds or eyelid festoons can be tricky to improve but I've had success using lasers to help improve the appearance of this condition. Ill include a link below.I hope this was helpful.

Answer: Improving Under Eye Bags/Malar Mounds -- Fillers (Belotero, Volbella, Restylane Silk), Fraxel, Microneedling/PRP A combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer
