Eye Bumps

About

What Is It?

These are small growths formed by deposits of lipid material in the subcutaneous area. They generally appear on one or both eyelids, particularly at the inner corner of the upper ones or in the area closest to the nose (inner canthus). However, it is not uncommon for them to appear on the lower eyelids as well.

In 95% of cases, there is no specific cause. However, sometimes xanthelasmas can be a symptom of lipid metabolism disorders such as familial hypercholesterolemia, or appear in the presence of primary biliary cirrhosis, pancreatitis, hypothyroidism, and some forms of tumors.

How To Treat It

Xanthelasmas are easy to remove, with great patient satisfaction, and the procedure, which is outpatient and quick, is done under local anesthesia using laser or surgical excision. Although the results are more than satisfactory in both cases, with surgical removal the risk of recurrence is lower.

Suggested Treatments

Aesthetic dermatologic surgery is a discipline that combines clinical expertise and aesthetic sensitivity, addressing skin conditions such as moles, cysts, keratoses, and other benign lesions with the goal of preserving skin health and improving its appearance. At Image Regenerative Clinic in Milan, every treatment begins with an in-depth dermatological assessment, essential for identifying suspicious lesions and acting promptly when needed. When appropriate, we perform the surgical removal of skin growths in visible areas such as the face, back, or décolleté, with the utmost precision and focus on aesthetic outcomes. This field now plays a key role not only in the removal of moles or skin cysts, but also in cancer prevention and long-term, personalized skin care.
