When you notice benign growths on your eyelids
Benign lesion removal is a medical procedure that safely eliminates non-cancerous growths such as moles, cysts, and skin tags. While generally harmless, these lesions can cause discomfort or cosmetic concerns. The procedure involves a careful excision or destruction of the lesion, ensuring minimal impact on surrounding tissues. At Lunata Eyelid and Cosmetic Surgery, our specialized light touch technique guarantees precise, gentle removal, promoting swift healing and results that harmonize with your natural facial anatomy.
Types of benign lesions
- Seborrheic keratoses (SK): Seborrheic keratoses are common, non-cancerous growths that appear as waxy, brown, black, or tan elevations on the skin.
- Papilloma: Papillomas are benign epithelial tumors that appear as small, soft, flesh-colored growths. They are often pedunculated, resembling tiny cauliflower-like projections.
- Nevi: Nevi, commonly known as moles, are pigmented skin lesions that can develop on the eyelids. They vary in color from flesh-toned to dark brown and may be flat or raised.
- Hemangioma: Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors that can appear as red or purple lesions on the eyelids. These growths are often present at birth or develop shortly thereafter.
- Actinic keratosis: Actinic keratosis is a pre-cancerous skin lesion caused by sun exposure. These rough, scaly patches can appear on the eyelids and other sun-exposed areas.
- Xanthelasma: Xanthelasma are yellowish, cholesterol-rich deposits often associated with lipid disorders, but they can also occur in individuals with normal cholesterol levels.
The steps involved in your benign lesion removal
The benign lesion removal process begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Eliasieh. He will evaluate the lesion, discuss your medical history, and determine the best removal method. The procedure typically involves local anesthesia. Dr. Eliasieh will use precise surgical techniques to excise the lesion, taking care to minimize any impact on surrounding tissues. The excised tissue may be sent for pathology to confirm its benign nature.
After the procedure, Dr. Eliasieh will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to promote swift healing and optimal results. You may experience minor swelling or redness, which should subside within a few days. Dr. Eliasieh will schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor your recovery and address any concerns. By following the aftercare guidelines, you can ensure a smooth healing process and maintain the natural harmony of your facial features.
