Festoon and Malar Bags Removal At A Glance
Everything you need to know before your consultation
How Does Treatment for Festoons & Malar Bags Work?
The most appropriate treatment depends on the type of condition, its severity, and your individual anatomy. During your consultation, Dr Tanov will assess your concerns carefully and recommend a personalised plan.
For Mild to Moderate Malar Bags
Stimulate collagen and fibrin production within the tissue, gradually reducing swelling and improving contour. Results develop over several months and may require repeat sessions for optimal effect.
When placed strategically, can soften the transition between the lower eyelid and cheek, reducing the visual impact of puffiness without adding unwanted volume.
Tightens the skin and improves overall contour through a course of three treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart. It works particularly well for those with early-stage malar bags and mild skin laxity.
For Moderate to Severe Malar Bags
Targets the fat deposits beneath the skin's surface using a minimally invasive laser fibre. It can reduce the appearance of malar bags by up to 50% within three to six months, with minimal downtime typically limited to temporary swelling or bruising.
For Severe or Persistent Cases
Best suited to older patients for whom removal takes priority over minimal scarring. Recovery is relatively quick, though the technique is not suitable for all anatomical presentations.
Addresses both the lower eyelid and malar bag in a single procedure and is Dr Tanov's most comprehensive option for the most complex or consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Water retention or hereditary factors cause malar bags, which create puffiness in the cheeks. Festoons are droopy skin folds that appear beneath the eyes as pouches of excess skin and muscle that develop with age. The two conditions can be present either alone or in conjunction.
Indeed, if it is only a mild-to-moderate case, other non-invasive approaches can make a difference. Among those are the Endolift laser procedure, Morpheus 8 radiofrequency microneedling, and tetracycline injections. In more serious cases, surgery remains the best option.
Nonsurgical procedures give you results for six to eighteen months, while surgery gives you results for ten years or more. It is especially true if you take proper care of your skin.
Most patients find the procedures comfortable. Practitioners apply a numbing cream or administer a local anaesthetic before treatment, and patients generally experience only mild discomfort. In surgical cases, surgeons perform the procedure under local or twilight anaesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout.
Recovery depends on the treatment method. Non-surgical methods will take anywhere between three and five days with slight inflammation or redness. If surgery is involved, it will take around 1 to 2 weeks to recover.
