Abstract
To deliver a natural, aesthetically pleasing periorbital rejuvenation, restoration of the youthful lid-cheek junction and malar eminence is often essential. However, the management of malar bags is complex secondary to the diverse pathophysiology and varying severity of malar edema, mounds, and festoons. Treatment must be individualized based on extent and content. This scoping review updates the audience on the anatomy, pathophysiology, and evaluation of malar bags in addition to the latest literature regarding minimally invasive intervention and surgical refinements. A modernized treatment algorithm is proposed.
