If you’ve noticed a bump, growth, or spot on your eyelid, it’s important to have it checked by an eye specialist. At Meadows Eye Physicians & Surgeons, our board-certified ophthalmologists and oculoplastic surgeons offer safe, precise eyelid lesion removal to protect your eye health and restore comfort and appearance.
What Is an Eyelid Lesion?
Eyelid lesions are abnormal growths or spots that appear on the upper or lower eyelid. They may be benign (non-cancerous) or, in some cases, malignant. Common types include:
- Chalazion (blocked oil gland)
- Stye (infected eyelid gland)
- Skin tags or papillomas
- Cysts
- Pigmented lesions or suspicious moles
Because some lesions can indicate more serious conditions such as basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, early evaluation is essential.
Why Eyelid Lesion Removal May Be Needed
Many eyelid lesions need to be removed for medical reasons, such as relieving pain, swelling, or irritation that interferes with vision or daily comfort. Others are removed for cosmetic reasons—to restore a natural, balanced appearance and improve eyelid symmetry.
In some cases, eyelid lesion removal is recommended for preventive reasons, as certain growths can enlarge, spread, or become malignant over time. Our skilled team uses specialized tools and advanced techniques to ensure precise removal, minimal scarring, and excellent cosmetic and medical outcomes.
The Procedure: Safe and Comfortable
Eyelid lesion removal is typically performed in-office under local anesthesia. The process generally includes:
- Examination & Diagnosis – Your eye doctor examines the lesion and may recommend a biopsy.
- Local Numbing – A small injection ensures you remain comfortable.
- Precise Removal – The lesion is carefully excised, protecting the surrounding healthy tissue.
- Pathology (if needed) – The lesion may be sent for lab analysis to confirm diagnosis.
Most patients experience minimal downtime and can return to normal activities quickly.
