What is Malar Ptosis?
Malar ptosis is the descent of tissues in the cheekbone region. With aging, malar fat (which gives volume to the cheekbones) descends due to gravity and weakening of retaining ligaments, creating a tired and aged appearance.
Signs of Malar Ptosis
- • “Flattened” or absent cheekbones
- • Deep nasolabial fold
- • Lower eyelid with “bag” or heavy appearance
- • Accentuated tear trough
- • Loss of malar projection when smiling
Treatment: Endomidface
Direct Vision Endomidface is the ideal treatment for malar ptosis, as it vertically repositions the entire midface unit. Unlike fillers that add volume, Endomidface returns tissues to their original anatomical position.
