Benign Eyelid Lesions

This patient had cholesterol deposits that can sometimes form on the eyelid, the condition is called xanthelasma. The deposits were carefully excised in the office under local anesthesia. They have healed wonderfully without any noticeable scars. Patients with this condition need to be sure that their cholesterol is within normal ranges before the procedure.

This patient had slowly growing cholesterol deposits, termed xanthelasmas. She wished to have them removed at the same time as an upper eyelid blepharoplasty.

This patient had a large left upper lid chalazion. The chalazion was removed through a minimally invasive technique which does not leave a visible scar. The incision is made on the backsurface of the eyelid and is performed in the office. The patient did well and was able to drive home after the surgery.

This patient had a slowly growing left lower lid mole since childhood. She wished to have it removed. The goal of the procedure was to remove the lesion in its entirety and then reconstructing the lid. We call this a full thickness wedge excision of the eyelid. Dr. Zoumalan used minimally invasive techniques to help allow the lid to heal as well and naturally as possible. Stiches were in place up to 10 days to allow the lid to properly heal well.
