Xanthelasma Treatment
Evaluation and removal options for yellowish cholesterol-rich deposits that appear around the eyelids.
Overview
Xanthelasma commonly appears as soft yellow plaques near the inner eyelids. It is usually painless, but a clinician may also discuss whether lipid testing is appropriate.
Removal approaches can include laser, chemical cauterization, radiofrequency or surgical excision depending on size, depth and eyelid anatomy.
What a consultation may cover
- Assessment of the eyelid lesions
- Relevant health and lipid history
- Procedure selection and expected healing
- Recurrence prevention and follow-up
Treatment suitability, number of sessions, risks and recovery vary by person. A qualified clinician should assess your condition before any procedure.
