Changes around the eyes can be particularly noticeable and may affect confidence. Xanthelasma and other eyelid lesions can develop on delicate areas around the eyes and require careful assessment and treatment planning. At Umi Clinic, we provide professional assessment and treatment options for suitable eyelid lesions in a safe and discreet clinical environment.
Because the eye area requires specialist care and attention to detail, every patient begins with a thorough consultation to understand the concern, assess suitability for treatment and discuss the most appropriate approach.

Meet Dr. Priya UdaniWhat Is Xanthelasma?
Xanthelasma is a condition where yellowish plaques or deposits develop beneath the skin, most commonly around the inner corners of the upper and lower eyelids.
Although xanthelasma is usually harmless, patients may choose treatment because of:
- The visible appearance of the patches
- Concerns about facial appearance
- Changes affecting confidence
Assessment is important to confirm the diagnosis and discuss suitable treatment options.
Other Eyelid Lesions We Assess
The eyelid area can develop a variety of benign skin lesions, including:
- Small cysts
- Chalazion (Stye)

Because eyelid tissue is delicate and functionally important, treatment should always be carefully planned.

Xanthelasma & Eyelid Lesion Removal FAQs
Xanthelasma is usually harmless, but assessment is recommended to confirm the diagnosis and discuss treatment options.
Many benign eyelid lesions can be treated, but suitability depends on the individual lesion and its location.
Any procedure involving skin removal can leave a mark or scar. Your clinician will discuss expected healing and scar management.
Most procedures are performed with local anaesthetic where appropriate, helping to minimise discomfort.
