Do you notice soft, yellowish patches near the inner corners of your eyelids? These are likely Xanthelasma – cholesterol deposits under the skin that may be a sign of elevated lipid levels or simply occur due to genetic factors. Though harmless, they can be cosmetically distressing and tend to grow in size over time.
At Chetna Hospital, Dr. Aishwarya Patil Pethe, Consultant Dermatologist, offers advanced Xanthelasma removal using Radiofrequency (RF) Cautery and Surgical Excision techniques, ensuring safe, precise, and aesthetically pleasing results.
🔍 What is Xanthelasma?
Xanthelasma palpebrarum refers to soft, yellowish cholesterol-rich plaques that appear around the eyelids. While they are not painful or dangerous, they often indicate high cholesterol or lipid imbalance in the body. These patches are common in middle-aged individuals and can appear even in those with normal lipid levels.
💡 Causes of Xanthelasma:
- High LDL (bad cholesterol)
- Low HDL (good cholesterol)
- Genetic lipid disorders
- Diabetes or thyroid problems
- Age-related cholesterol metabolism changes
✅ Why Should Xanthelasma Be Removed?
Although medically harmless, xanthelasma can:
- Increase in size and become more noticeable
- Appear unsightly and affect self-confidence
- Indicate underlying cholesterol imbalance
- Recur if not removed properly
👩⚕️ Expert Treatment at Chetna Hospital
Dr. Aishwarya Patil Pethe provides two dermatologist-recommended options for effective Xanthelasma removal:
1. Radiofrequency (RF) Cautery:
- Suitable for small, superficial patches
- Minimally invasive, quick procedure
- No stitches or major downtime
- Healing in 5–7 days with minimal scarring
2. Surgical Excision:
- Ideal for large, thick, or recurrent deposits
- Performed under local anaesthesia
- Precise removal with cosmetic stitching
- Long-lasting results with reduced recurrence
Both treatments are performed with extreme care, especially since the area around the eyes is delicate. Proper evaluation ensures the best cosmetic outcome with minimal risk of scarring or pigmentation.
