Uncovering the Differences Between Malar Bags and Festoons with a Plastic Surgeon

Malar bags are different to normal lower eyelid bags, as they are formed because of a structural problem in the skin of the lower lid and cheek areas. This is due to a loosening of the muscle in the face that helps close the eyelids (the orbicularis muscle), the skin and fat compartments.

Festoons are mounds resulting from chronic accumulation of fluid (edema) below the eyelid in the upper cheek area. Festoons give the area under your eyes a look of puffiness and magnify the appearance of under-eye bags.
