Growths on or around the eyelid — including cysts, styes, papillomas, and other benign or suspicious lesions — can be uncomfortable, cosmetically bothersome, or occasionally concerning for their underlying cause. Lid lesion removal is a precise, in-office or surgical procedure to excise these lesions safely while preserving the delicate structure and function of the eyelid.
When there's any uncertainty about the nature of a lesion, removed tissue can be sent to a pathology lab for evaluation, giving you and your care team a definitive diagnosis and peace of mind. Most lesion removals are quick procedures performed under local anesthesia with minimal downtime.
We take care to close incisions in a way that minimizes visible scarring and preserves normal eyelid movement, blinking, and comfort.
