Malar bags, also known as festoons or cheek bags, are a cosmetic concern related to the skin and tissues in the cheek area. These are pouch-like swellings or bags that develop in the lower eyelid and upper cheek area. Malar bags are distinct from under-eye bags, which typically form beneath the eyes.
The exact cause of malar bags is not always clear, but they are often associated with aging, sun exposure, genetics, and the natural loss of skin elasticity. Other factors that may contribute include fluid retention, lifestyle choices, and certain medical conditions.
- Genetic Predisposition: While genetics play a significant role, lifestyle factors such as smoking and poor dietary choices can exacerbate the condition.
- Fluid Accumulation: Malar bags often involve the accumulation of fluid in the lower eyelid area, leading to puffiness and a distinct bag-like appearance.
- Connective Tissue Weakening: The natural aging process can weaken the connective tissues supporting the under-eye area, resulting in sagging and the formation of Malar Bags.
