What is the removal of xanthelasma?
The removal of xanthelasma, also known as yellow plaques, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure aimed at removing yellow cholesterol deposits that mainly appear on the eyelids. Xanthelasma are usually painless and harmless, but for many individuals, they are an aesthetic problem.
This procedure is suitable for individuals who want to improve the appearance of their eyelids by removing xanthelasma. Xanthelasma may also indicate elevated cholesterol levels, so patients should consult with a doctor to assess their health for heart disease risk factors.
The result of the procedure is the effective removal of yellow plaques, leading to a more aesthetically pleasing appearance of the eyelids and face. Patients notice significant aesthetic improvement within a few days, which increases their self-confidence.
Recovery is usually quick. Patients may experience slight discomfort, swelling, or bruising around the eyelids, which typically resolves within a few days to weeks. It is important to follow the doctor's recommendations, including protecting the eyes with sunglasses and avoiding intense physical exertion.
Since xanthelasma can indicate elevated cholesterol levels, it is recommended to adopt a healthy diet, engage in physical activity, and undergo regular check-ups to monitor cholesterol levels. A healthy lifestyle can help prevent recurrence.
