This 69 year-old woman was bothered by the swelling under her eyes and over her cheeks. Unlike typical ‘bags’ that are noticed above the lower bone of the eye socket, these ‘malar (cheek) bags’ extend below that bony ridge onto the cheek. Malar bags are not able to be addressed through traditional lower eyelid surgery. An external incision is necessary in order to correct this. Scars, while initially red, will fade to white and be easily camoflaged in a nature skin crease. They may also be covered up with makeup.
This 69 year-old woman underwent resection of malar (cheek) bags approximately one month earlier. The redness will fade over the next few months. The bulges are much improved. This was done through an external incision as malar bags can not be reduced through traditional eyelid surgery.
