FAT DOTS ON EYELIDS

] If you have noticed that you have unsightly yellowish-white fat patches around your eyes, these are fatty deposits, located superficially in the skin and mean that you suffer from xanthelasma.

They frequently appear on the lower or upper eyelids as slightly raised, yellowish-white islands. They are soft, painless and have a smooth surface with well-defined edges. Once xanthelasmas appear, they do not disappear by themselves, but rather grow slowly in size. They evolve slowly and are unsightly, invading the surrounding tissues. There is no preventive treatment. If left untreated, xanthelasmas grow to impressive sizes, making surgery difficult. Sometimes they can occur in several members of the same family. About half of people with xanthelasma have high blood fat levels (cholesterol, triglycerides). So I recommend you to have a medical consultation (family doctor, internist, nutritionist) to establish the necessary regimen and treatment. Unfortunately the treatment of xanthelasma (eyelid fat) is only surgical so call and schedule a consultation and I, Dr. Bortolini – plastic surgery specialist can help you to get rid of this unpleasant appearance!
