What is Xanthelasma Removal?
Fatty deposits in the eyelids (Xanthelasma) are due to cholesterol accumulation within the skin. The most effective treatment involves removing the affected tiny strip of skin under local anaesthetic.
What does the treatment for Xanthelasma Removal involve?
Surgery to remove fatty xanthelasma of the eyelids is accomplished under local anaesthetic. The eyelid is numbed gently and then the affected area is removed carefully under magnification. The wound is then closed with hair’s breadth absorbable stitches.
The local anaesthetic does cause some swelling so it is best to arrange a lift home (in case the swelling interferes with vision). Most normal activities may be resumed immediately but avoiding straining will help reduce bruising and promote rapid healing.
The eyelid heals within a few days and within a week or two the tiny stitches will fall out leaving a nicely healed eyelid.
Recovery from Xanthelasma Removal
Recovery usually takes around a week. The tiny wound will be dressed with an antibiotic cream. You will be asked to apply antiseptic cream regularly for the first few days

Reviews
Excellent care from start to finish
I recently had some veins treated in my Leg and, and as I was quite nervous, I really appreciated how lovely and reassuring everyone was.
The surgeon Simon was friendly, professional and put me completely at ease, and the nurse Becky was absolutely lovely and caring. They both made the whole experience much easier than I expected.
I’m very grateful for their care and would definitely recommend them.
Lipoma & skin tag removal
Carried out very professionally and additional after care support was provided.
Removal of 2 facial moles
I was offered a quick appointment and was able to have the consultation and procedure at the same time. Simon and his nurse were very friendly and fully discussed what needed to be done. I am delighted with the results and would totally recommend Simon.
Lipoma removal
Found Simon to be very professional and diligent within his work, the whole process took no more than an hour, I was made to feel at ease, comfortable and confident in Simon’s abilities. The cut was bigger & deeper than I expected, but that is more due to my own preconceived conceptions, Simon explained the whole process very well and detailed everything clearly before the operation went ahead, my head is healing up nicely.
Recent Cyst Removal
Absolutely would thoroughly recommend using Simon as recently had a cyst removed in a particular sensitive area. Felt at ease from the initial consultation through to the operation and final follow up. Special mention to his staff who had to put up with my ramblings during the op!!
