Can microsuction help in the earlier stages of lamar edema/mounds?

Question

What are the treatment options for malar edema /mounds? I am 31 and have malar edema/malar mounds. I'm wondering what possible treatment options there are for this. I read that microsuction can help in the earlier stages and if there's no skin laxity? Thank you.

Dear Nimsak,Hello and thank you for your excellent question. Based on your description, you are unlikely to benefit from liposuction. Rather, I think that you may require a mid-face lift, or other surgical treatment for your malar mounds. It is best to answer your question during a face-to-face evaluation, when you can discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, and you can have a physical examination to evaluate for that procedure. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!
  
Best,
