The pursuit of periorbital rejuvenation to counteract signs of aging is a focal point in cosmetic surgery, with eyelid surgery being a prominent choice among patients. Addressing inferior blepharoplasty, especially in cases involving chronic malar edema, malar mounds, and festoons, presents unique challenges. The terminology and classification of these conditions vary, hindering effective management. In this study, we use the term "malar bags" to encompass the spectrum of fluid-associated mounds over the malar eminence.
This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of direct excision as a surgical choice for treating the aesthetic concerns associated with malar bags.
A retrospective study was conducted on 53 patients who underwent direct excision of malar bags between 2013 and 2023 at our clinic.
No major complications were encountered, overall high level of satisfaction for both patients and surgeons.
Direct excision of malar bags proved to be a safe and effective technique, yielding satisfactory results in terms of both aesthetic outcomes and patient satisfaction.

追求眶周年轻化以对抗衰老迹象是美容外科的重点，眼睑手术是患者的首选。处理下眼睑整形术，特别是涉及慢性颧骨水肿、颧骨丘和眼袋的情况时，存在独特的挑战。这些情况的术语和分类存在差异，阻碍了有效的管理。在本研究中，我们使用“颧骨袋”一词来涵盖颧骨上方与液体相关的丘状结构。
本研究旨在证明直接切除作为治疗与颧骨袋相关的美学问题的手术选择的有效性。
对 2013 年至 2023 年期间在我们诊所接受直接切除颧骨袋的 53 名患者进行了回顾性研究。
未发生重大并发症，患者和外科医生的总体满意度均很高。
直接切除颧骨袋被证明是一种安全有效的技术，在美学效果和患者满意度方面均取得了满意的结果。
