Xanthelasma
Procedures
Complete surgical removal of xanthelasma, the yellow cholesterol deposits that develop around the eyelids, followed by careful eyelid reconstruction to restore the treated area and maintain a natural, balanced appearance.
What it is
Xanthelasma appears as yellowish patches around the inner areas of the upper and lower eyelids, affecting the overall appearance of the eyes.
From an Eye Aesthetics perspective, eyelid-focused treatment can help restore a smoother, more refined and natural-looking appearance.
Causes
Around one third of people with xanthelasma have raised serum cholesterol, so the condition is often worth investigating alongside treating it.
Treatment and results Treatment and results
Xanthelasma may not respond well to non-invasive treatments such as laser resurfacing or chemical peels. A skilled Oculoplastic Surgeon can perform precise surgical removal of the plaques, followed by careful reconstruction of the affected area.
Following removal, the eyelid contour and appearance can be refined, helping eliminate deposits that may not respond adequately to topical treatments and supporting a more balanced Eye Aesthetics outcome.
