What Is Malar Bag Surgery?
Malar Bag Surgery is a procedure designed to correct fullness or bulging in the upper cheek area beneath the lower eyelids. The treatment focuses on improving the relationship between the lower eyelid and cheek to create a smoother facial contour. The appropriate surgical approach depends on whether the malar bags are caused by tissue descent, skin laxity, fat distribution, or fluid retention.

Why patients choose malar bag surgery

Improving Lower Eye and Midface Contours at T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon
Malar bags can create persistent fullness or shadowing beneath the eyes, making the face appear tired, puffy, or aged. Unlike traditional eye bags caused mainly by lower eyelid fat protrusion, malar bags are related to changes in the cheek area, soft tissues, and the transition between the lower eyelid and midface. Malar Bag Surgery is a specialized rejuvenation procedure designed to improve these contours and create a smoother, more balanced lower eye appearance.
At T&T Plastic Surgery Seomyeon, each malar bag surgery procedure is customized according to lower eyelid anatomy, cheek structure, skin elasticity, fat distribution, and individual aesthetic goals. The clinic focuses on restoring natural facial harmony while creating refreshed results for both local and international patients.

Have a question about your own case? Send a photo on WhatsApp — a coordinator replies with your surgeon’s guidance.
Ask on WhatsApp →Are malar bags the same as under-eye bags?
No. Under-eye bags are usually caused by lower eyelid fat protrusion, while malar bags involve the cheek area beneath the eyes and are related to soft tissue changes and midface structure.
Can Malar Bag Surgery remove all under-eye puffiness?
The results depend on the underlying cause of the fullness. A consultation is necessary to determine whether surgery, fat repositioning, or another approach is most suitable.
How long should international patients stay in Busan?
Most international patients stay around 7–10 days for follow-up appointments and early recovery monitoring before returning home.
Can Malar Bag Surgery be combined with other procedures?
Yes. Depending on individual concerns, it may be combined with lower blepharoplasty, under-eye fat repositioning, or other facial rejuvenation procedures.
