Suggest Remedy For Puffy Fatty Pads On The Upper Parts Of My Cheekbones

Hello, I have developed puffy fatty pads on the upper parts of my cheekbones, and indentations that run through the top of the cheekbone. They show up a lot if I am somewhere with bright over head lighting. I have done some research online and I think it could possibly be malar bags/ mounds. It is of great concern to me because I am only 26, nobody in my family has them and I only became aware of them 7 months ago.After undertaking more research I thought it could be due to sinuses, stress/fatigue, adrenal fatigue/ being run down.I am really worried and tried different remedies with no result. Any advice will be most appreciated.

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having malar prominence.It is likely to be fat deposits. It can be due to genetic predisposition. You can consult with endocrinologist for searching for any hormones related diseases. If endocrinologist says no disease then you can consult plastic surgeon for their reduction by surgery. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
